Instructions
-
Soak the Rice: Begin by soaking the brown rice in water for about 1 hour to soften it.
-
-
Prepare the Batter: After soaking, drain the rice and transfer it to a blender. Add the puffed rice, chopped bananas, jaggery, fresh coconut, and a pinch of salt. Blend all the ingredients with ½ cup of water until you achieve a thick batter.
-
Heat the Paniyaram Pan: Place a paniyaram pan on medium heat and add a little sunflower oil or ghee to each depression.
-
Cook the Paniyarams: Pour some of the prepared batter into each depression, filling them about halfway. Cook until the bottom turns light brown, then carefully flip each paniyaram using a skewer or fork. Add more oil or ghee as needed while cooking.
-
Serve Hot: Once both sides are golden brown and cooked through, transfer the paniyarams to a plate. Serve them hot, ideally paired with Adrak Chai (Indian Style Ginger Tea) and Ribbon Pakoda (a crunchy South Indian snack).
