  • 1/2 Cup Whole Urad Dal

  • 3 Dry Red Chillies

  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • 1 sprig Curry Leaves

Add about 1 to 1.5 cups of water and grind to a paste. Do not grind it to a smooth paste. The texture should be that of sooji rava / semolina. Once ground, remove the mixture and set aside.
  4. Mix the Sorghum mixture and urad dal mixture and mix well to combine.
  5. Now cover the mixture with a lid and allow it to ferment in a warm place.

  7. Heat a paniyaram pan until hot. Add in 1/4 teaspoon of oil to each of the mold and set the pan on low flame. Ladle the paniyaram batter to the pan. Cook for a minute. Then turn and cook on the other side.
  8. The paniyaram is ready if it has become crispy and golden on both sides.
