Step 1
For the Sago Appe: In a large bowl, combine the soaked sago, mashed potatoes, crushed peanuts, chilies, ginger, cumin, coriander, and rock salt. Knead gently into a soft dough.
Step 2
Grease your palms with a little ghee and roll the mixture into small, smooth, ping-pong-sized balls.
Step 3
Heat the appe pan on a medium-low flame and add a drop of ghee into each cavity.
Step 4
Place the balls in the cavities and cook, turning them occasionally with a wooden skewer or spoon until they are uniformly golden and crisp.
Step 5
For the Relish: While the appe cook, whisk together the mashed kiwi, roasted cumin, black pepper, and mint. Adjust sweetness as desired.
Step 6
Assemble: Top each appe with a small dollop of the kiwi relish and a single pomegranate seed.
Step 7
Serve immediately while the appe are hot and the relish is cool.
Step 8
Suggestion – Use of pomegranate seeds adds a beautiful “pop” of color.
Step 9
To keep the kiwi slices looking fresh, plate them just before serving.
