In a grinding jar add 1/2 cup samak rice and 1/2 cup sago and grind it into a fine powder.

Transfer this mixture in a deep bowl, add 1/4 cup curd and all the remaining ingredients and mix well. It should form uniform loose dough.

Add water a little at a time and make a thick pouring consistency.

Heat Appe patra on a medium flame and Grease the round mould/indentations with a drop of oil or ghee.

Drop 1 tsp of the appe batter in the individual indentations with a spoon.

Now add the paneer filling in the centre and again add the batter over the paneer filling.

Cover the pan and cook it for 1-2 mins on low flame.

After few minutes, turn the appe balls over with a spoon. When you turn them, the bottom should be golden brown and crisp. Add another drop of oil or ghee on the sides of each appe ball so that they cook through and do not stick to the pan.

Once both the sides are cooked and golden, remove from the pan and serve hot with upvas chutney (made from peanuts and dahi) or plain dahi.
