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.

Just last week I tried extracting coconut milk for a recipe..phew!! what hard work for less than half a cup of coconut milk! Can lazy bums like me use readymade coconut milk at all?
