Appe, also known as Paniyaram, or Paddu, are delightful dumplings made from fermented rice and lentil batter. Originating in the southern region of India, this dish is usually prepared using a special Appe pan. They are crispy from the outside and soft and fluffy from the inside. They are usually served with coconut chutney or sambar and make for a perfect breakfast or snack.
