    About Vrat Ke Appe (Upvas Ke Appe)

    Vrat Ke Appe, also known as Upvas Ke appe, Upwasache Appe, or Falahari Appe is an instant snack or breakfast made using varai (barnyard millet), sabudana (sago pearls), potatoes, and a few more simple ingredients.

    It is quite easy to make and can be prepared for your vrat (Hindu fasting days).

    Serve it for a snack, breakfast, or a light meal along with vrat green chutney or any other vrat chutney that you prefer.

    The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.

    Ingredients

    Varai (Barnyard Millet) – Also known as samo rice, kodri, samvat or samak chawal, it is easily available at Indian grocery stores or online.

    Sabudana – It is also known by the name of tapioca pearls or sago pearls. Sabudana comes in various sizes. Try to get the medium-sized pearls that are used to make Sabudana Khichdi for the best result.

    Potatoes – Boiled potatoes help in binding the ingredients.

    Yogurt (Curd, Dahi) – Plain yogurt is used to bring the ingredients together.

    Others – You will also need cilantro (fresh coriander leaves), salt, cumin seeds, baking soda, and green chilies.

    Adjust the green chilies depending on your taste.

    Serving Suggestions

    These Farali Appe can be served with vrat wali green chutney and any other vrat chutney of your choice.

    You can serve it for snacks, breakfast, or a light meal.

    Storage Suggestions

    I would recommend you to serve these right out of the appe pan – hot & crispy.

    They tend to get drier when kept for a longer period of time.

    Leftovers can be stored in an air-tight container for about a day. Reheat in microwave or appe pan before serving.
