Rice appe recipe-Easy and Quick fermentation

Appe recipe is also known as kuzhi paniyaram is a traditional snack of south Indian homes.

Few Indian homes enjoy this recipe for breakfast as well. We make this rice appe or paniyaram sometimes with the leftover idli or dosa batter too.

We have a pan called appe pan also called an aebleskiver pan to make this recipe. When you add the batter in the appe pan with a little bit of oil and cook, the rice appe will turn crisp outside and soft inside and tastes delicious you can’t stop with one. Normally the appe batter fermentation will take up to 8 hours with the instant pot we can make the appe batter fermentation quicker using yogurt mode. Once the batter is fermented we make the tempering with oil, mustard seeds, green chili, onion, urad dal, etc. This appe is a savory version you can also make sweet version.

We enjoy this recipe with coconut chutney, onion – tomato chutney, or even with some instant pot sambar. Make sure you serve this rice appe hot and fresh else it will become soggy. To make it healthier I add some shredded vegetables like beets, carrots as well so the picky eaters will also enjoy the appe.
