This namkeen appa is made from idli batter. To the normal idli batter, you season with 1 tsp of oil, 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, 2 tsp chana dal, 2 tsp udad dal, green chilies 3 or to taste according to the batter you want to make with.
Heat oil till hot in a kadai, or poaching dish/appakarai, add spoonful of the batter, cook well on both sides till golden, drain on a colander or on a kitchen towel. This goes well along with the sweet appam as a good snack.
ps- in case you feel the idli batter is slightly thin than normal, make one appa & see , if it takes in too much oil, add 1-2 tsp of rava/ suji, mix well & make, it will take in less oil & also come out crisp.
