Moongdal Paniyaram | Green gram Paniyaram

I am back. Due to internet problems, couldn't write a post for a long time. Feeling so good.... Now back to this recipe. I happen to see a cookery show in Telugu channel long time back. It was moong dal bonda however since i did not wanted to deep fry it, i used my paniyaram pan and cooked it with about couple of drops of oil. So this is a very healthy recipe. You can have this for breakfast or as a snack. I made this as a snack hence served with tomato ketchup. You can have it with any type of chutney or sambhar. So here is the recipe... Happy cooking....

Ingredients:

Green gram | Moong dal(whole with skin) - 1 1/2 cup( soaked overnight)
Urad dal | Black gram - 1/2 cup ( soaked overnight)
Green chillies - 2
Ginger - 1 inch
Salt as required
Oil as required

Method:

Soak the dal overnight.

Grind the dal with green chillies, ginger and salt into a semi thick batter. 

Now heat paniyaram pan and about a couple of drops of oil( i used non stick, hence it required very less oil otherwise use it as required). Pour the batter in the pan and let it cook for about 2 minutes on each side.

Kuyi Paniyaram(spicy)

Many a times we do have leftover idly or dosa batter.  It is boring to eat the same thing again, so for a change do try making paniyaram.  An excellent breakfast or can be served as a snack. But today I prepared seperate batter specifically for paniyaram. Will share the recipe with leftover idly or dosa batter next time.  I am using a non stick paniyaram pan. You get these at any utensil store, it is good to buy this as it will take just a drop of oil, yes that is correct. I cooked this paniyaram with just a drop of oil. Hence healthy and nutritious.
