Aval oats sweet appam

I made this today to satisfy my five year old's sugar and chocolate craving. He wanted something 'quickly' in his words so I came with this recipe. 

Ingredients

Oats                              - 1/2 cup

Aval                             - 1/2 cup

Banana                        - 1 ( tiny one - nino ones)

Whole wheat flour    - 1 tbsp ( optional)

Jaggery(palm sugar)  - 1/4 cup 

Chocolate powder      - 1 tsp

Salt.                                - 1/8 tsp

Water as required

Oil/clarified butter for frying

Toast the oats and aval lightly and powder it. Powder the palm sugar and add it to the oats/aval mixture.Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix well. Mash the banana and add it to the oats mixture. Slowly add water to make it into a thick batter. Heat oil in a pan/appakaral.

Deep fry the oats mix, I used an appakaral(similar to mini pancake with deep holes) until done. Drain excess oil on a paper towel if required.
