Steps

1 hour

1

To a cup of rava add the dahi and 4 TSP of water and whisk for a minute. Add more water if the batter isn't a bit wet leave this for half an hour for the rava to fluff up. Add a bit of salt and black pepper powder
2

Meantime, blitz up peas, chilli, spring onion green, jeera and salt to a coarse paste. Looks a beautiful green
3

Make small balls of the matar paste and keep ready.
4

After half hour, whisk the rava batter and add some water so it is a bit wet and drops off the spoon.
5

Put the appe girdle on gas and fill each of the holes with some oil and add some torn curry leaves and mustard seeds in each.
6

Add 1/2 TSP of baking soda or eno to the Rava batter just before using it. Give it a quick mix and start adding a teaspoonful of the rava batter into each of the holes.
7

Once completed, add and press a small pea ball into each of the holes and then cover them with some more rava batter. Put a lid and let it cook on a low flame.
8

After 5 mins take a look and once browned on one side, flip and cook it on the other side. Add some more oil if you think it would need it.
9

I used a non-stick appe tawa and hence didn't need a lot of oil. Also it cooked quite fast and with the measurements I made about 12 good sized appe.
10

Serve it with coconut chutney, Pudina chutney or tomato ketchup. Serve hot with some adrak wali chai and it would need nothing more.
