Sweet appe are cute little dumplings made in a special mould called appe pan. They're called sweet appe in Maharashtra, godu appo in Konkani, famously known as sweet kuzhi paniyaram in South India, paddu or guliappa in Kannada.
These can be made with many variations like wheat flour, rice flour, semolina and with the addition of fruits like banana or mango or dessicated coconut.etc etc Traditionally they are flavoured with cardamom powder, crushed aniseed (saunf)
Today I am making them with wheat flour and semolina combo and flavouring with organic jaggery, cardamom powder and fennel seeds.
Whole wheat flour... 1 cup
Semolina ............... 2 tbsps
Organic jaggery powder
Cardamom powder .. 1/4 tsp
Crushed fennel seeds... 1 tsp
Salt .......................... 1 pinch
Baking powder ........ 1 pinch
Water or milk .......... for mixing
Ghee ...................... for brushing.
Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients except ghee to make a smooth and thick batter.
2. Brush ghee liberally on the appe pan.
3. Pour the prepared batter into the mould. Keep the pan on the gas on medium flame and cover it with a lid.
5. Brush little ghee and cook on the other side and cook until done
