Let’s get cooking!
1. Rava Appe Recipe
If you want something light yet filling, the appe recipe is a perfect choice. These are like mini idlis but crispier on the outside and softer on the inside.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup semolina (rava)
- ½ cup curd
- ½ cup water
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small carrot (grated)
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp oil
- Salt to taste
Steps to Prepare:
- Mix semolina, curd, and water to form a batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, onions, and carrots. Sauté for a minute.
- Add this mixture to the batter. Mix well.
- Add baking soda and salt. Stir gently.
- Grease an appe pan and pour the batter into the moulds.
- Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium flame. Flip and cook the other side.
Serve hot with coconut chutney or tomato ketchup. You can also use urad dal, moong dal, chana dal, and poha instead of rava for the appe recipe.
