Masoor Dal Or Red Lentil Appe

Masoor dal or red lentil appe. A delicious and easy to make breakfast dish. You don’t need to ferment the batter just mix everything and cook. Just like suji or rawa app. Just soak the dal for 2 hours and grind. Simple isn’t it?
Appe or kuzhi paniyaram is a south Indian dish made of steaming batter.

Traditionally made from pulses and rice using a mould.
It can be made sweet and spicy both.

You can make it with very few ingredients and enjoy as a healthy snack.

Today I am sharing an easy and delicious appe recipe with masoor dal or red lentil.

Lentils are a powerhouse of nutrition. They are a good source of potassium, calcium, zinc, niacin and vitamin K, but are particularly rich in dietary fiber, lean protein, folic acid and iron.
A single cup of cooked lentils contains 16 grams of dietary fiber. It contains some soluble fiber, but is an outstanding source of insoluble fiber. According to The Cancer Project, a diet that includes plenty of insoluble fiber can regulate bowel movements, promote digestive system health and may significantly decrease the risk of colon, breast, throat and esophageal cancer. Fiber-rich foods like lentils may also help prevent stroke, heart disease, diabetes, high blood cholesterol and hypertension.

You can serve these in breakfast or as a snack with any sauce or chutney.

Method

Soak the masoor dal or red lentil in sufficient water for 2 hours.

Grind the soaked lentils with ginger and green chilli. You can add 2 – 3 garlic cloves if you like. I didn’t.
Take out the lentil paste in a large bowl. Add suji or semolina, rice flour, chopped onion chopped coriander leaves or cilantro, cumin powder, chaat masala powder, salt and curd. Mix well and add as require to make semi thick batter.

Make a lump free batter. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Now add lemon juice and soda. Give a good stir. You can add little more water if require.

Heat the appe pan and grease it with little oil. Pour a spoonful of batter into each mould. Cover the pan with lid and cook on low flame till it becomes golden brown.

    You know something I often feel that appe pans are a blessing in disguise for everyone who wants to eat deep fried, don’t own an airfryer. Lentils appes are my fav at home.. during summers when its pretty hot to consume dal, i make these as snack options so that the lentils are consumed in some way or the other. Great share.

    The addition of masoor dal must have given a nice twist to the appam. I will try adding it the next time when I make the appam.

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
