Sweet Paniyaram

Paniyaram ,an all time favourite dish .......can be made both sweet or savoury. Here Iam making sweet version. To make Panniyaram we need Panniyarakkal. Here I have used the stone mould to make the Panniyaram. Non stick Mould are also available. I prefer the stone as the taste is much better than the non stick.






Ingredients

Boiled Rice / Idli Rice - 500 gm

Urad Dal - 3 tbsp.

Fenugreek Seeds - 3 tbsp.

Jaggery - 300 gm


Method:

Soak the boiled rice separately for atleast  4 hours. Soak the Urad dal and methi seeds together for an hour. First take the soaked Urad dal and methi seeds and put in the wet grinder/ mixer first . Add little water and grind until it become smooth . Then add the soaked rice to the wet grinder/ mixer and grind until smooth . Remove the batter in a vessel. Now take  the jaggery in a pan and sprinkle some water in it and heat it in medium flame until the jaggery melts. Now mix the melted jaggery into the batter. just pour little by little until the required sweet is needed. Just taste the batter. If the sweet is enough you can stop . if u want more sweet u can add until the required sweet is needed. Now keep the batter for half an hour.

Now take the Panniyarakkal . Heat it. Once heated pour oil /ghee in each mould. Need to be a little generous with oil/ghee. Then pour the batter in each mould . Flip the balls so that it boils on the other side too. Now the Panniyaram is ready to be served.


To Be Noted :


 1. Fenugreek seeds are just added for the flavour. if u want u can add more . make sure you don't add too much .
 2. If Urad dal and fenugreek seeds are added more the panniyaram will become soft and will stick to the pan.
 3. U can refrigerate  the batter and use it upto 2 days
