South Indian being my favourite for breakfast recipes, I keep exploring this cuisine for easy and quick recipes.

And one of my favourites to make these days are this Rava Appe or Rava Paniyaram. 

Instant to make, it is made my roasting rava with a few other ingredients and then adding water to make a batter.

This batter is poured in the paniyaram pan, to make these Appe. 

It’s just like making a Dosa batter, but this is instant.

You don’t need any fermentation in this like Dosa or Idli batter.

Also this batter is tempered with few spices, that adds to its taste.

The appe are crispy from outside and soft from inside. 

Also, these comes out great in perfectly round shapes in only Paniyaram Pan and I assure you this recipe is worth investing in one Paniyaram Pan. 

These Appe gets ready in just 30 minutes and makes for a great weekday breakfast.

You can even pack them for your Lunch along with a delicious South Indian chutney such as Coconut Chutney, Red Coconut Chutney, Tomato Onion Chutney, Andhra Style Peanut Chutney or any other chutney you like. 

So, next time you want a recipe for your everyday breakfast, make these Rava Appe and even your kids will eat it with joy. 

What is Rava Appe?

Also called as Sooji Appe or Rava Paniyaram, these are round fritter like recipe, where the batter is made with rava and it is flavoured with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, chana dal, hing, curry leaves, ginger, green chilli, dry red chilli and cashew nuts. 

This rava and spice mixture is mixed with curd and grated carrots.

This batter is then poured in the paniyaram pan and cooked until the outer layer becomes a little brown in colour and is properly cooked from inside. 

I have added only carrots, but you can go ahead and add any vegetables that you like such as onions, tomatoes, peas, beans, capsicum etc.
