About Rava Appe
Instant Rava Appe (Suji Appe, Rava Paniyaram, Rava Paddu, Rava Appam) are round fritters made using semolina (rava, suji) batter. It is a take on the classic South Indian kuzhi paniyaram recipe, which uses idli dosa batter. Instant rava appe batter can be made without fermenting the batter. They come together in under 30 minutes using simple ingredients. Rava Paniyaram are cooked in a special pan called paniyaram pan or appe chatti (appam pan, appam patra). You can also use an Aebleskiver pan if paniyaram pan is not available. Try to use a cast iron pan for the crispiest appam. Instant suji appe are crispy from the outside and soft from the inside and can be loaded with the veggies of your choice to make them healthier and wholesome. Serve this instant rava appe recipe for perfect breakfast, after-school snacks, or tea-time snacks with green coriander chutney, coconut chutney, or any other chutney you choose on the side. Vegetables – I have added only carrots, but you can add any vegetables you like, such as onions, tomatoes, green peas, french beans, bell peppers, etc. Yogurt (Curd, Dahi) – Plain yogurt makes the appe soft and gives them a slight tang. ENO fruit salt – You can get it at any Indian grocery store. It makes the appe recipe super soft and fluffy from the inside. Other Ingredients – You will also need oil, brown mustard seeds, cumin seeds, Bengal gram (chana dal), asafetida (hing), salt, curry leaves, fresh ginger, green chilies, dry red chilies, and cashew nuts. Adjust the green chilies as per your taste. You can add a little white urad dal with chana dal. Add the following ingredients once the oil is hot, and fry for 5-6 seconds.
½ teaspoon brown mustard seeds ½ teaspoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon chana dal
¼ teaspoon asafetida 10-12 whole curry leaves 1 teaspoon grated ginger 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies 1 dry red chili (broken into small pieces) 4-5 whole cashew nuts
Reduce the heat to low. Now add 1 cup of fine rava to the pan and roast it until slightly browned (3-4 minutes). Stir continuously while roasting to avoid burning the rava at the pan’s bottom. Transfer the cooled roasted rava to a large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup plain yogurt and 2 tablespoon grated carrot to the bowl and mix well. Cover the bowl with a lid and keep it aside for 15 minutes. Add 2-3 tablespoon of water to the batter and mix well. You need an idli-like batter to make the appe. Now add 1 teaspoon ENO fruit salt and ½ teaspoon regular salt and mix well. Add ¼ teaspoon of oil to each cavity. Using a spoon, pour the batter into each cavity. Do not overfill. Flip with the help of a spoon and cook uncovered from the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove the rava appe from the pan and serve hot.
