Semolina Appe with A2 Cow Ghee: Small Moulds, Cooked Centres

By Faimly Farm · 22 October 2026 · Prepared with AI assistance. No firsthand testing or expert review is claimed.

For semolina appe with A2 cow ghee, rest the semolina-yoghurt batter before adding the raising agent, fill the moulds moderately and cook gently enough for the centres to set. This proposed home recipe has not been tested by Faimly Farm. A2 is the selected ingredient category, not a proven reason for better rise.

A small batch

For approximately 12 small appe, prepare 100 g fine semolina, 80 g plain yoghurt, 60–90 mL water, 2 tablespoons finely grated carrot, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon baking soda and 10 g A2 cow ghee. Mould sizes vary, so yield is approximate. Use an appe pan according to its manufacturer's instructions.

Mix and cook in sequence

1. Combine semolina, yoghurt, salt and 60 mL water. Rest for 15–20 minutes so the mixture hydrates. Stir in carrot. Add water a teaspoon at a time until the batter drops readily from a spoon but is not watery.
2. Warm the pan over medium-low heat. Distribute part of the measured ghee between the cavities; keep some for the next batch.
3. Stir baking soda into the batter immediately before cooking. Fill cavities about two-thirds full, leaving room for expansion. Cover if the pan instructions permit.
4. When the edges release and the bases are golden, turn carefully with a suitable tool. Cook the other side. Split the first piece: the centre should be cooked and set, not a wet paste. Lower the heat if the outside darkens first.

Change one thing on the second batch

If the batter sits heavily in the mould, loosen it slightly before the next batch. If pieces flatten or are hard to turn, check whether too much water or too much batter was used. Do not repeatedly add baking soda to compensate. Record the adjustment so the method is repeatable in your pan.

Serve promptly. This semolina-and-yoghurt recipe contains wheat and milk ingredients; it is not an allergy-free recipe.

Questions

Can I skip the rest?

Resting gives the semolina time to absorb liquid; adjust consistency after it.

Why is the centre wet?

The mould may be overfilled or the heat too high for the thickness.

Does extra ghee fix uncooked batter?

No. Adjust filling and heat, and finish cooking the centre.
