Multi Adai Paniyaram

Paniyaram is one of very popular breakfast or appetizer dish in Southern part of India. It is prepared from batter which is pretty similar to Dosa/Idli batter. I have already shared the regular Paniyaram recipe earlier, this recipe a little variation to the original recipe. The major ingredient for this recipe is mix of various kind of daal (pulses), beans, brown rice and rava. I have also added grated beetroot to a refreshing color as well as nice taste. The batter needs at least 6 to 7 hours of fermentation. The paniyram tastes great with samber, coconut or tomtato chutney. You would need paniyarm pan to prepare this recipe which is generally available in Indian grocery stores. These cute little balls works great as appetizer for your guests as well as for kid’s lunch boxesMulti Daal & Beans_1

Instructions
  1. Mix brown rice, methi seeds, daal & beans in a bowl and clean with water for 2 to 3 times. Add enough water in to it and soak it for 5-6 hrs.

  5. Turn off the heat. Add roasted rava ( sooji) and mix rava with onion tempering.
  6. Add grated beetroot and rava mixture into ground batter. Add salt to taste and mix it very well. Cover it and keep in warm place for fermentation for about 6-7 hrs or overnight. After 6-7 hrs, add 1/4 tsp baking soda in batter and mix very lightly. ( Adding baking soda is optional, it's help to make paniyaram more soft & fluffy.)
  7. Heat paniyaram pan at medium heat. Add 1/2 tsp oil in each cavity. Once it gets hot, put one spoon paniyaram batter in each cavity and cover it and let it cook for 4-5 minutes at medium to low heat.
  8. Flip it to other side and sprinkle some oil on top.
  9. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes till gets slightly brown color. Once it done, transfer it in to container. Make as many you want batch by batch following same process. You can store the batter in refrigerator and cook it within one or two days.
