Spring Appam / Appe are very quick to make and tastes great. Its a south Indian dish and usually made by adding onions and other spices. To make it nutritious I have added few vegetables. I have used Gits Idli batter to make appe. Its quick to make and tastes the same as you make from appe batter. Can be made for breakfast or evening snack and served with chutney.
Ingredients :
1 packet Gits idli batter
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
2 finely chopped green chillies
1/2 tsp ginger paste
1/2 cup finely chopped capsicum
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
Finely chopped coriander
Salt to taste
Oil as required
Note: To make this dish we need Appe pan, it is specially designed to make appe.
Method :
1. In a bowl add water to the idli mix, use little less water then specified on the gits packet. Example: If specified 320 ml water then add 310 ml water.
2. To this add chopped onion, capsicum, carrots, green chillies, coriander, ginger paste and all the spices. Add 2 tsp oil and mix well. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
