Paniyaram / Appe are spiced dumplings mostly made with rice batter but this time I used sooji for this recipe. Appe can be made plain, spiced or sweet. They are crispy from out and soft from within. They are gluten free as well. There are so many different name of this dish, some called called "Appe" or some called "Paddu". These lovely little dumplings are also called hoppers. It’s a really good option for breakfast or evening snacks
