Kitchen Tool: Appey patra

Preparation time : 5 min + 60 min to soak
Cooking time : 7-8 minutes
Prepares: 15-17 appe

Ingredients:
1 cup Rava( barik rava) / chiroti rava / Fine Semolina
1 and half cup curds
green chillies finely chopped as per the taste
salt to the taste
grated ginger
curry leaves finely chopped
coriander leaves finely chopped
2 Table spoon Chana daal/Bengal gram
1 small tea spoon baking soda
2-3 Onions finely chopped


Procedure:
  1. Soak the chana daal in water for 1 hour.
  2. In a separate bowl mix rava and curds with enough water to make thick batter ( medium consistent ). cover it and leave it for soaking for 60 minutes.
  3. Add soaked chana daal in mixture.
  4. Stir well, add onion,green chillies,curry leaves,ginger,coriander leaves,salt.
  5. Add baking soda.
  6. Sprinkle oil on appey patra/molds ( non stick) properly.
  7. Let it(molds) become enough hot.
  8. Pour the batter in each of the hot molds.
  9. Cover the pan for some time 5-6 minutes.
  10. Check once with the wooden spoon.(After5-6 minutes you will see the sides of the molds are opening; that is appey is getting cooked. But when we dip the spoon in middle it might have not. So wait until it is cooked properly. But once you flip the appey and it is proper brown color with crisp you do not need to cook that side again.)
  11. Sprinkle little oil in a way that it will flow towards the side of the molds.
  12. Once the underside is cooked properly, you can see crispy, brown colored appey, flip the appey with the wooden spoon.
  13. Once both sides are done, remove appey from molds, and serve hot with coconut chutney or groundnut chutney or Dates-Cocum chutney( Recipe available on khaughar).
Note: Add soda just before putting batter in the molds. Add it just a minute before cooking. And mix well in the batter before pouring the mixture in molds.
