Appe(Paniyaram)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup urad dal
• 2 cup rice
• salt to taste

Method:

Wash the urad dal and rice, soak in water separately for 6-8 hours.

Now grind them with a bit of water into a smooth batter. Do not make the batter very thin. The batter should be thicker than dosa batter.

Transfer the batter in a steel vessel, cover and keep aside overnight for fermentation.

Next day the batter will rise due to fermentation. Now add salt and mix properly.

Heat the appe pan, add generous drops of oil in each of the compartment. Now add the batter in the compartments.

Cover and cook. When it gets golden brown, turn it over with a spoon, add a bit of oil and fry from the other side.

Serve hot with Chutney.

You can do a variation by taking some batter separately and adding some onions,green chillies and coriander to the batter then remove the appe in the same way as said above.
