Notes
You might have to adjust the water based on the consistency of the batter as the quality of the semolina and vegetables determine the amount of water required. Also, most fresh vegetables release moisture requiring less water. So check the texture just before making appe and add water if required.
Resting the batter for at least 10 minutes allows rava to soften.
