Appe/ Pan fried dumplings
It has been more than 3 weeks since I bought the appa patra. It brings back the fond memories of child hood when mom used make the sweet or savoury dumplings. I used to feel that it was too much of hard work for her on a sunday. For a family of 5 people she used to stand for hours in front on the gas stove making each of them.
She used to take a lot of efforts per piece. That thing she still continues but the culinary exploits have relatively reduced. She is still fond of cooking and feeding but most of us are on some or other form of diets these days.
Well, anyway, coming back to the appa patra, for the first time I wanted to make the savoury. Some would think I should have opted for the sweet option, but this is me.
So I called mum and asked her for the simplest recipe of all , here it goes, I served it with rasam and chutney. So you get to see one more recipe in this post.
