Ingredients

• 1 cup Rava (Semolina)
• 0.5 cup Curd (Yogurt)
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Urad Dal (Split Black Gram)
• 1 teaspoon Chana Dal (Split Chickpeas)
• 8 leaves Curry Leaves
• 2 Green Chilies, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Grated Coconut
• 1 pinch Asafoetida (Hing)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the rava (semolina), curd (yogurt), and water. Stir well to make a smooth batter. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

After resting, add baking soda and salt to the batter. Mix well until the ingredients are incorporated.

Step 3

In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium flame. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Step 4

Add urad dal and chana dal to the pan. Sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 5

Add curry leaves, chopped green chilies, and asafoetida (hing). Stir for a few seconds until the leaves are crispy, and the aroma arises.

Step 6

Pour this tempering into the batter and add grated coconut. Mix everything well to incorporate the flavors.

Step 7

Heat the paniyaram pan on medium heat and add a few drops of oil into each cavity.

Step 8

Carefully pour the batter into each cavity of the paniyaram pan, filling up to three-fourths.

Step 9

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side over a medium flame. Once the edges appear set, gently flip each paniyaram using a wooden stick or a spoon.

Step 10

Cook the other side for 2-3 more minutes until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Step 11

Remove from the pan and serve hot with coconut chutney or tomato chutney.
