Wash and soak the yellow moong dal, urid dal in a bowl and rice in a separate bowl. Add the methi seeds in the dals and let them all soak for 6-7 hours. Actually, the rice needs to soak for 6-7 hours the dals can soak for 3-4 hours.

Drain and grind the dals to a smooth paste with minimum water. Transfer to a big bowl.

Drain and grind the rice to a paste again with minimum water. Mix in the dal and set aside to rise for 8 hours.

In the morning when you want to make the appe add the onion finely chopped, green chillies, coriander leaves, salt to taste and mix well.

Grease the non-stick gunpangala/paniyaram/ appe pan on a medium flame.

Pour the batter into each mould till ¾ full cover and cook on a medium flame.

When the edges of the become golden brown turn each appe upside down use the using the small spatula provided with the pan.

Cook on the other side.

Remove to serving plate and serve immediately.

My pan cooks 11 appes at a time.

Continue adding the batter and cooking till all the batter is over.

The number of appe you will get will depend on the side of the mould.

In my case I got about 35 of them.
