Appu 65 | Paniyaram 65 | Appe 65 | How To Make Appe

Appe 65 or Paniyaram 65 is one of the tastiest and easiest vegetarian appetizers. Appe 65 makes a good substitute for chicken 65 and a perfect accompaniment for beer. This can be prepared in less than 30 minutes. Soft appes are first cooked in an appe pan and then deep fried with a coating of flavored batter. Finally, fried appes are tossed in an aromatic seasoning and served. I bet you can't stop after eating one.

Repeat the process for the remaining batter.

Making of Appu 65 batter & frying

I have fried the cooked appes to get that crispy coating on the outside resembling chicken 65. If you do not want to fry, you can simply skip and toss it in the seasoning given below. The taste, texture, and appearance will vary accordingly.
In a bowl, add rice flour, cornflour, curry leaves, garlic, ginger, red chile powder, garam masala powder, and salt to taste. Now add water little by little and mix to form a medium-thick batter. Check the video of preparing 65 batter.
¼ cup Rice flour, 2 tablespoon Cornflour, 1 tablespoon Curry leaves, 1 teaspoon Garlic, 1 teaspoon Ginger, 1 teaspoon Red chile powder, ½ teaspoon Garam masala powder, ½ teaspoon Salt, Water
Heat oil in a pan for frying. Once hot, dip each cooked appe in the batter and drop them in oil. Fry six to eight appes depending on the size of the pan.
Oil
Cook on medium flame till it turns crispy on all sides. Transfer it to a paper towel. Repeat for remaining appes.

Seasoning Appe 65

In a pan on medium flame, add oil. When it is hot, add cumin seeds and saute for a few seconds.
1 tablespoon Oil, 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
Now add garlic, curry leaves, and saute for 2 minutes or until it becomes light golden. Next, add green chilies, chile powder, yogurt, salt, and mix.
2 tablespoon Garlic, 2 sprig Curry leaves, 3 Green chilies, ½ teaspoon Red chile powder, 1 tablespoon Yogurt, ¼ teaspoon Salt
Finally, add the fried appos and toss until combined. Switch off the flame.
Appu 65 is ready. Serve hot and enjoy!!!!

Notes

I have all-in-one dosa batter, idli dosa batter & benne dosa batter that you can use to make appos. Use any one batter of your choice or even store-bought idli-dosa batter works well for this dish.
The dish is on the spicier side. Reduce the amount of red chilli powder and green chillies as per your preference.
