Again added Broccoli to the pancake which I make it most of the time either with Dudhi (Bottle Gourd) or Cabbage. But this time I changed it completely. Was making mini appe’s in appe pan, so made it a little different. I added the vegetables, Broccoli, Carrot, colorful capsicum’s/Bell Pepper’s and a colourful appe and pancake were ready. I do add Sesame seeds to add the crunch to the pancake. So here goes the recipe………..
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup finely chopped Broccoli
- 1/2 Cup finely chopped carrot
- 1/2 Cup finely chopped Capsicum/Bell Pepper’s (I used yellow and red)
- 1/2 Cup finely chopped onion (Optional)
- 1-2 finely chopped green chillies (Optional / as per taste)
- 2 Cups Rava (Semolina)
- 1/2 cup (Dahi (Curd) – Vegans can use vegan curd or water
- 1/4 cup chopped corainder
- 1 Cup Water
- Salt as per taste
- 2-3 tablespoons of Sesame seeds (Til)
- Some oil for shallow frying.
- Pan with lid
- Appe pan
Preparation
-
- Soak the rava in Dahi , Salt and enough water. Do not make it very thin. You can add water later if required.
- Let the rava sit for 10 minutes. This will help rava soak the water and dahi.
- In the meantime cut all the vegetables finely. I chop my broccoli as shown below.
- After 10 minutes, mix all the vegetables, green chillies, corainder. Add water if required. We do not want a watery mixture, just enough water to hold all together.
For Pancake
- Heat a pan, add a teaspoon of oil. Once hot add sesame seeds. The seeds will crackle and pop up. Be careful as the seeds pop up all over.
- Immediately add around 2-3 tablespoons or around 1/4 cup of mixture and spread it. It is not watery so it will not be smooth to spread the mixture.
- Cover the pan cake with a lid. Cook on slow to medium flame/gas for 5-7 mins. Once it is golden brown, add a teaspoon of oil on the top surface, and then flip it and cook again for 5-7 mins.
- I cook a little more as I like it to be dark golden brown or rather a little more crispy. It is up to you.
- Serve it with yummy Imli Chutney and Corainder Chutney (Recipe coming shortly)
For Appe
- Heat a appe pan. Drizzle a teaspoon of oil in all the appe’s mould.
- Add a tablespoon of mixture in each of the appe mould.
- Cover it and Cook on slow to medium flame/gas for 5-7 mins. Once it is golden brown on the side drizzle a little oil on all the appe’s
- Flip it and cook again for 5-7 mins.
- I cook a little more as I like it to be dark golden brown or rather a little more crispy. It is up to you.
- Serve it with yummy Imli Chutney (Recipe coming shortly) and Corainder Chutney (Recipe coming shortly)
