- Once the oil is hot, add mustard and cumin seeds and let them crackle
- Once it cools down, pour this seasoning into the batter
- Mix all ingredients well
- Grease an appe pan with oil
- Add one tablespoon of the batter into each hole
- You need to make sure that the idli dosa batter does not fill the holes as the appe will rise once they are cooked
- Cover the appe pan with a lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes
- You will notice that the batter will leave the sides and the appe will become loose. This is an indication that the bottom is cooked
- Now, using a spoon or a chopstick, flip every appe and cover it with the lid again
