Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw rice
- 1/2 cup whole urad dal
- 1 cup first coconut milk
- 1/3 cup milk boiled and cooled
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- a tiny pinch salt
- 1/8 cup sugar
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- Take equal measure of raw rice and urad dal and soak it together for 2-3 hrs...
- Then grind it to a fine batter(use grinder) for best results. Add very little water only while grinding.
- Add salt, mix well and keep aside.
- The batter should be thick and fluffy like idli / medu vada batter.
- Heat oil in a kadai - When oil is heated up, take a small portion of batter and drop in the preheated oil.It will puff up well.
- Turn over and cook on both sides to light golden color.
- Drain in a tissue paper. In a bowl add coconut milk, milk, cardamom powder, sugar and mix well. Drop the paniyarams into the prepared milk, let it soak for 5-10mins.
- Enjoy your paal paniyarams!
Notes
- While grinding make sure to grind the batter thick(kind of medu vada batter)else it will drink more oil.
- Always use fresh coconut milk as it gives a great flavor.
- The milk should not be too thick else it will take more time for the paniyarams to absorb the milk.
- You can even use coconut milk fully or use the ratio of milk:coconut milk as I have mentioned.
- You can fry the paniyarams before hand and while serving time just soak them in milk.
- Adjust sugar quantity according to your taste.
- Make sure you grind it fine, else it will splutter while frying just a word of caution.
- You can even use paniyaram pan to fry the paniyarams if you want to avoid deep frying.
- Dont fry the paniyarams for more time, just fry till light golden brown.
- Salt is added in sweet dishes just to lift the sweetness of the dish.
