Sourdough Banana Appe#SundayFunday

This is a sumptuous breakfast which is eggless & vegan will serve 3 to 4 persons and it goes well with a cup of tea, coffee or as a snack.  In the South these are call paniyaram or unniyappam and in Maharashtra we all it appe. In the other countires it's called aebleskiver. Traditional snack made with sourdough starter, jaggery, semolina and banana with touch of cardamom.
I used 100% sourdough starter which is made with 50: 50 ratios of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, you can use any flour starter.
I fed the starter at 4.30pm by 7.30 pm it was active. Add the semolina, jaggery and cardamon powder to the starter and extra ¼ cup water Kept it again at room temperature for 30 minutes then refrigerate it . Next morning added the mashed the banana and baking soda, added another ¼ cup water mix it well since this batter slightly thinner than a pancake batter. Poured this in a soft squeeze bottle or a piping bag, since it is less messy and you can control the amount the batter required in to each hole.

Make sure to cook to only golden-brown color as it tends to cook while it cools down.

To reduce the amount of batter sticking on to the ‘pan’, let the pan heat up a bit before adding the oil. Let the Oil heat again before adding the batter.

Ingredients 
220g Sourdough Starter
¾ Cup Jaggery
¾ Cup Semolina Rava
1 Banana - mashed
¼ Teaspoon Cardamom powder
¼ Cup+ ¼ Cup Water
1/8 Teaspoon Baking soda
Oil/ Clarified Butter - as required for frying
¼ Cup Freshly Grated Coconut - optional

Method
Melt Jaggery with ¼ cup of water and sieve with a strainer, to remove impurities if any are present.
In a bowl mash the banana into a puree with a masher and set aside.
In a large bowl add active starter, melted and strained jaggery, semolina flour, baking soda, cardamom powder and extra ¼ cup water, mix it well to make a thick pancake batter. Kept it again at room temperature for 30 minutes then refrigerate it . Next morning added the mashed the banana and baking soda, added another ¼ cup water mix it well since this batter slightly thinner than a pancake batter. Poured this in a soft squeeze bottle or a piping bag, since it is less messy and you can control the amount the batter required in to each hole.Keep it aside for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in appe pan add batter to the mold/each hole. Cover with a lid and let it cook till the bottom side is golden.
As soon as one side ready, turn and cook the other side also . Remove it from the appe pan when a skewer comes out clean. You can also use a spoon to transfer them. 
Transfer to kitchen towel to remove excess of oil. Repeat the process until the entire batter is finished. 

Enjoy!!
