I tried this recipe but On shallow frying I found out that the core remains wet. What can I do to ensure that it is cooked from inside

Hi Ekta, Shallow frying will not let the appes cook completely. You have to use the appe mould that you get in the market. Only that will help you get the perfect cooked appes. Do try this recipe and share your review with us. happy Cooking!
