Mixed Daal Appe

I recently came to know from my aunt that these appes are made especially on the Varadlakshmi vrat day on a specific Shravan Friday. So I decided to make them.



Mixed Daal Appe - Count 40

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup urad daal

1/2 cup chana daal



salt to taste

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

2-3 green chilies, minced (optional)

1/2" ginger, peeled & grated or minced

3 sprigs curry leaves, torn



Oil for frying



Method

1. Soak both daals after rinsing for 6 hours.

2. Drain and grind to a paste using minimal water.

3. Add salt and cover. Set aside for 6 hours.

4. Stir in all the remaining ingredients except oil

5. Heat appe paatra/kayili. Add oil as needed.

6. Pour a spoonful of batter in all the cavities of the pan. Cover.

7. Cook on a medium low flame for about 5 minutes. Drizzle oil as needed.

8. Flip and cook again without covering with the lid.

9. Serve with chutney of your choice.



Note -

1. Fry/roast appe patiently. If high flame is used for cooking, the outer layer will be burnt and the batter will still be raw inside. Use low/medium flame for cooking.
