Goan Style Appe

Goan Style Appe

Appe are a Maharastrian dish. These are usually made with a batter made from rice and urad dal, mixed with vegetables of your choice and a tempering of cumin and curry leaves. In Goa, the rice bhakari is a popular breakfast item. I once had some left over rice bhakari flour and decided to make appe with it. The results were delicious and this has been a favorite in my house ever since! The Goan style appe are made with rice and coconut milk that are spiced simply with onions, coriander and chilies. This makes a great breakfast item and is also a perfect lunch box recipe for kids. This is an instant recipe and I love to make it on days that I am running late!
