We make these and they’re called Appe in Konkani. I have to buy myself this and a cup cake/muffin pan for my oven. They’ve been on my to-buy list for ages.

Lovely recipe and beautiful pics.

These look great! They remind me very much of Takoyaki, from japan - they are made in a similar vessel, except that a small piece of squid is placed in the center of each… I’ll have to make these as well!

They are delicious TTG.:)

Hi Usha: you mean utappam, right? Another good recipe with leftover dosa batter.

Hi Jyothi and Caty: I’ve seen this type of cast iron skillet at Target stores and also at Amazon cast-iron cookware.

Aruna: They are really unforgettable and quite easy to prepare at home with the right kind of skillet.

Hi Soumya: Yellow color is from turmeric.

Hi Indira,

Do you grind the channa dal or is the yellow color from the turmeric ?

Thanks,
Soumya

Hi Indira,

Hi Indira! these are my favorite. In India, I used to prepare with left over Idli batter and also with left over dosa batter. But here I don’t have the ponganalu maker. I have to buy. Thanks for sharing your version. Looks delicious and yummy.
