Ingredients
  

  • For soaking:
  • 240 grams Raw rice (1 cup measured 80 ml)
  • 80 grams Urad dal / Split black gram
  • 20 grams Channa Dal / Bengal Gram
  • Aval /Beaten rice - 1 handful

Addons

  • 1/4 cup Yoghurt

Tempering

  • 2 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
  • 1/2 tsp chopped Green chillies / red chillies
  • 1 sprig curry leaves chopped fine
  • 2 tbsp Onions finely minced, opt.

Instructions
 

  • Soak the raw rice, aval and the dals separately for 2-3 hours. Grind smooth, add salt. Rest for 3-4 hours.
  • Add curd and mix well and keep aside for 10 mins.
  • Make the tempering, add to the batter, mix well. If using onions, add and mix again.
  • Heat a paniyaram pan (abelskiver) and grease it well. Spoon the batter into the dimples till they are 3/4 full. Cover and cook on low-medium for 2 mins, gently tip them over and let it cook evenly to a golden brown on all sides.

Notes

  1. Yoghurt makes all the difference, so dont skip that. Use a vegan substitute like cashew curd or rice curd if you are avoiding dairy.
  2. If the batter is a little too watery, add a TBSP of roasted rava or a tsp of rice flour to the batter and proceed as usual
