Rice Appe-How to make rice appe

April 4, 2018 by Smita Singh 4 Comments

 

Rice Appe

Rice appe are a perfect breakfast or snack choice and considering the fact that appe is also made from leftover Idli batter, it can be an interesting replacement to usual Idlis.

Appe is a shallow fried dumpling or roundels prepared with rice and urad dal or with the batter of addition of mixed lentils like chana dal, urad dal and flattened rice. Generally, rice appe is widely prepared in West coast of India Konkan in parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Rice appe is known by various names in South India, including paddu, appe, guliappa, gulittu, yeriyappa, gundponglu, ponganalu (source wiki)

Rice Appe

Though it is known differently in different regions, what makes this a popular breakfast choice is that it is made with some easily available ingredients. As we tend to prefer an oil-free breakfast options, this tends to perfectly fit the bill (though not being an oil-free recipe in true terms but usage of oil in not more than 1-2 tsp) and the cooking process is quick.

Quite often, Appe is also made with leftover Idli batter. This should really be yours go to breakfast recipe during morning’s rush hours. Whoever said that authentic and regional recipes are time consuming and tedious must be shown this preparation.

As someone righty said “Good food is very often, even most often, simple food!”

    Namaste Madam,

    Thanks for publishing the detailed appe recipe. I have following questions:

    (1) In cast iron vessel, it takes 15-18 mins for us to cook one round of appe. Is that your experience too?

    (2) Is it better idea to fill each cavity till 3/4 th level only with the batter (as it will rise) or to fill completely?

    (3) If we decide to use hand-pounded rice, will it take same amounts of time to ferment and to cook or timings will change?

    (4) Will stone grinding give more crispier appe?

    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Abhijit

      Hey Abhijit , please find below my answers:

      1. Yes depending on heat levels and cast iron pan thickness , timings do change
      2. Better to fill it to 3/4th level
      3. Increase the soaking and ferment time a little , like 1-2 hours more . But do grind it fine
      4. Stone grinding is always good for dosa and appe as it generates less heat while grinding than mixer , however I would not be able to comment on more crispiness though .

    I tried to make the batter and added too much water, it’s a little bit runny. Is there a way to salvage this?
