SWEET CORN APPE|CORN PANIYARAMAN WITH IDLI DOSA LEFTOVER BATTER

Appe is also known as Paddu(Kannada), appe(Konkani/ marathi), ponganalu (Telugu), paniyaram(Tamil), unniyappam(Malayalam).

To make this we require a special tava (Appe Tava), Usually we get two kinds of tavas, one of black colour(of cast iron) and other  non stick  tava.
I have used non stick tava so that appe dont stick to the tava(GRIDDLE).

Seen this recipe on gujrati channel where she had made instant  sweet corn appe without fermentation/instant/jhatpat corn appe.(will post recipe soon)Since I had leftover dosa batter prepared sweet corn appe using dosa batter.

Ingredients :
2 cup  idli /dosa batter (Pls click here for dosa batter .For idli batter click here) 
1 cup corn 
1 small onion 
3-5 green chillies 
1 tbsp jeera (cumin) ( optional) 
¼ tsp baking soda ( I used eno salt) 
1/4 cup Coriander leaves 
Salt, oil 
8-10 Curry leaves

Method:

1.Chop the onions and coriander,chillies ,curry leaves finely.

2.Mix all the above ingredients to idli /dosa batter & mix well. Add little water to thin it out a little.(dont add too much water just 1-2 tsp).chk salt & adjust as per taste.

3 Add 1 tsp oil into each groove & heat the Appe/ Appam pan/albeskiver pan (chk below picture)

4. Drop a bit of batter to check and if you hear the sizzling 
sound, the pan is ready to cook appe.

5.Now add baking soda mix well & immediately Add the prepared sooji batter into each of the grove, so that ¾ of the grove is covered and then cover it with a lid.




6.Reduce the heat a little bit at this time. After a minute or so, open the lid and with a kitchen knife, run it around the edge of the appe, to see if it is browning.

7 Make sure the appe does not turn dark brown or black in color. The one in the middle is the one that gets dark fast.

8.If some of the appe can be easily displaced from the grove flip  it on the other side, add oil and cook until done. Let the remaining appe cook correctly and turn them when done.

9•When turned on the other side, add 1 tsp oil again and reduce the heat even further and there is no need to cover with lid. this will cook faster.

10. Serve with tomato chutney/ idli chutney/ coconut coriander chutney
