Real Taste of Paniyaram

Paniyaram

I heard lot about this paniyaram and tasted that in different taste and flavour. But this time, I visited to my friend house at Karaikudi, the authentic Kara paniyaram served with the breakfast; the taste was totally different from the earlier one.

At once the taste spurs me to collect the recipe from my friend’s maam and now blogged it for my readers use.

Kara Paniyaram

Ingredients

Raw Rice – 250g
Urad Dal – 175g
Oil – For Frying
Dry Redchillies- 5nos
Curry leaves- 1 sprig
Asafoetida- a pinch
Salt- as needed
Ginger- 1tsp
Mustard Seeds- a little
Soda Bi Carbonate – a little
Small Onions – 3 cloves
Turmeric Powder- a pinch

Method

1.Soak the raw rice and the urad dal for an hour. Grind the both like a pouring consistency.
2.Prepare the fundamental masala for the Kara paniyaram with oil, dry redchillies, ginger, Mustard seeds, small onions, curry leaves, Turmeric powder, and asafoetida. Make it as a fine paste.
3.Mix the masala and the batter well. Add the salt and soda bi Carbonate into it.
4.Heat the oil in a specially made paniyaram vessel, drop the batter in the hot oil.
5.Turn the side of the paniyaram after 2 minutes. Cook it with care, if the heat is too, the inner of the paniyaram will not cook properly.

Yes its taste awesome for the spicy lovers, prefect accompaniment for the typical south Indian breakfast and evening snack. Dish it out huahahahah !!!!!!!!

2.Make thick Jaggery syrup; add the grinded powder and ginger powder, grated Coconut, little ghee, mix all these ingredients well.
3.While it is in little heat, make even size balls. Prepare the batter with maida and lemon yellow colour; dip the balls in this batter.
