Instructions
- Wash and soak rice and urad dal in fresh water and leave over night or minimum 4 hours.
- Drain water and grind to make a fine batter. Do not add much water as the batter should be thick enough like we make for Dosa.
- Collect the batter in a large container and leave it for 5-6 hours to ferment. Make sure you use a large vessel because the batter will rise while fermentation.
- Mix the fermented batter with a ladle and add salt as needed.
- Heat an Appe pan and add add 1-2 drops of oil in each socket.
- Once the oil is piping hot, add 1tbsp of batter in each socket. Simmer the gas and close lid.
- After a couple of minutes, flip the Appe balls and again add 1-2 drops of oil in each socket so that the appes are nicely fried from the other side as well.
- Once the appe are nicely crisp from outside, collect them in a plate and prepare the next batch.
- Serve them hot with your favorite chutney.
