Namaste!
Welcome to Ruchkar Mejwani with Smita!
You all gave an amazing response to the
South Indian recipes I have shown earlier.
So, today I will show you one more
South Indian recipe..
..which is, 'Appe'!
I have 1 and a half cup rice here,
soaked for 2 to 3 hours prior..
..and half a cup split white lentils (urad dal).
I soaked the dal too for 2 to 3 hours.
Now, let's grind it nicely.
Let's add some water.
We won't need much water 
as rice is nicely soaked.
It's nicely ground.
Now, let's ferment the mixture for 
around 7 to 8 hours.
I have already fermented mixture, 
let's use that.
I let this mixture ferment for 7 to 8 hours.
Now, I will add a tsp of salt to it.
1 medium sized chopped onion..
..and 2 finely chopped green chillies.
I have added these ingredients,
let's mix them well with the mixture.
I have heated the mould used 
for making Appe.
Let's add some oil in it.
This mould belongs to my mother, 
she gifted me this one.
The one we find nowadays in the market
requires less oil for cooking as its non stick.
And now, let's cover with a lid 
and let them cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
4 minutes later.
They are cooked on one side, 
so let's flip them.
Cook them on this side too for 3 to 4 minutes..
..and then Appe will be ready!
They are nicely done, let's remove them.
Appe are ready to relish!
Also, to enjoy with it green chutney 
and filtered coffee too is ready!
So now I am ready to 
dig in my South Indian menu..
