Sarva Pindi

Ingredients:

Rice Flour - 2 cups
Chilli Powder - 1 tsp or Green Chillies - 3 to 5
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric - a pinch
Curry leaves - 4 or 5 leaves
Split Peanuts - 1/2 cup
Split Yellow Moong Dal - 2 tbsp
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves finely chopped - 2-3 tbsp
Scallions green part finely chopped - 4
Small Onion - 1
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tsp

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together.
Mix the flour mixture with enough warm water to make it to chapati flour consistency.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts
Press one part into the dough into the inner sides of pan and make small holes into the cake with your finger. These holes make sure that appa is cooked evenly all over.
Pour a teaspoon of oil onto the appa, cover and cook in on medium heat for about 5 mins.
After 5 mins, take the lid off from the pan and cook for 2 more mins. By this time oil starts collecting into the holes made into the appa.
Turn off the fire and enjoy the servappa! It tastes equally good hot or cold.
Repeat the process for other three parts of the dough.
