Ingredients

  • 2 cups Idli batter fermented
  • 1 Persimmon puree
  • 1/4 cup Jaggery powdered
  • 1/4 cup Coconut scrapes
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 Cardamom powdered

Instructions

  1. Grind the chopped persimmon to fine consistency and add to the idli batter.  Idli batter to persimmon paste quantity ratio should be around 4:1.  Add more idli batter to match the ratio if needed.

  2. Add jaggery, coconut and cardamom powder and mix well.  Adjust salt level if required.

  3. Heat paniyaram pan on the stove and in each mould pour about 1/2 tsp oil.  Pour one spoon batter mix into each mould just enough to fill them a little below their capacity.  The paniyaram will expand and almost become double the size when fully cooked.

  4. Let them cook for few mins until they get golden brown at the bottom.  Then slowly rotate the paniyaram using a wooden stick/ spatula (the accessory that came with the pan).  Cook on the other side for few mins so they get evenly browned on both sides.  Perfectly cooked paniyaram will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and should melt in the mouth.

  5. Sweet paniyaram can be enjoyed as such, but you can also serve along with chutney of your choice.  Popular combinations are onion or ginger or garlic or red chili chutney or idli podi mixed with sesame oil.
