Appe is a popular South Indian breakfast made of steaming batter. Tradionally it was made from pulses and rice using a mould. But now a days it is made with little variations to make it more tasty. And my today's appe is made of beetroot which is full of vitamins & minerals and packed with powerful antioxidants. It tastes best when served hot with any chutney or sauce.
