Rava Appe

Ingredients:-

3/4 cup rava
1/2 cup curd
Salt to taste
1/3 cup water
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1/4 capsicum, finely chopped
1/3 cup carrot, grated
8-9 curry leaves, finely chopped
A pinch of baking soda
Oil
Mustard seeds

Method:-

1. Firstly in a large bowl combine rava, curd and salt. Mix them very well without any formation of lumps.
2. Next add water as required. Mix well to form a semi-thick batter. Keep them aside.
3. Further add onions, green chilli, capsicum, carrot and curry leaves. Combine them well. Allow them to rest for 10-15 mins or till the rava absorbs water.
4. Add a pinch of baking soda just before preparing the appe. Combine them well.
5. Heat appe pan and add a few drops of oil inside the holes. Next add 1/4 tsp of mustard seeds to each of those holes. Allow them to crackle.
6. Now fill each of the holes with the rava batter. Cover and simmer for a minute or till the appe gets cooked slightly.
7. Once the base turns golden, flip it over with a spoon or a knife and cook the other side till they turn golden brown. Cook the appe's on a low flame.
8. Finally, serve rava appe with tomato ketchup.
