Protein Laden Paniyaram
When I started giving cooking classes, I arranged different lentils in a glass to showcase the different lentil we use in our cooking..now what do I with them? So this was my brainwave last week.
Black eyed peas – 2 tbsp
Masoor dhal – 2 tbsp
Yellow Moong Dhal – 2 tbsp
Channa Dhal – 2 tbsp
Green moong dhal – 2 tbsp
Whole uradh dhal (skin on) – 1/2 cup
Red Chilly – 3 to 4
Ginger – 1 inch
Curry Leaves – 2 sprigs
- Soak all of the above except the ginger and curry leaves for about an hour.
- Grind it to a smooth batter along with the ginger adding water as needed.
- Chop the curry leaves and mix it with the batter.
- Add salt to taste.
- Let the batter sit in room temperature for about 5 hours.
- Heat a paniyram skillet (Aebleskiver pan) .
- Pour a ladle of batter and drizzle some oil over each of them .
- Cook until both sides are golden brown.
I happened to see a similar skillet in Solvang, if you would like to purchase one, here is a link
You give Cooking classes too, thats awesome! My mom’s been at it for almost 25 years now
The paniyarams look gr8!
thats a nice and healthy recipe shankari looks yummy
Shankari, I totally love this recipe. Will try this.
Hey S… this is also a good way to use up small amounts of left over dals before restocking. Will try it
Wow! Looks nice.
I have an aebleskiver pan..
Wow wish I had a few of those to pop into my mouth instead of these dry bagels
wow!!!very nice one ….i wish one of them is in my mouth by this time ….
wonderful. the thing is it sticks to my cast-iron pan and needs gobs of oil to get unstuck. i probably need to get a non-stick pan.
Protein packed paniyarams… kind of like kutti adas.
That sounds good..I’ll have to investigate getting a pan.
We may be getting together some people who’d be interested in having you give a private class.. we keep talking you up.
shankari..awesome..will be tried soon
Wow, thats a lot of daal in there
Siv will love this one, I try to stay away from most types of daals… 
Looks absolutely delicious and healthy. protein packed goodness!! Thanks for sharing an awesome recipe!
The paniyarams looks fantastic shankari!
Great idea… and they must taste like mini-adais
I made a vada recently with this. Now I see paniyarams. It is surely a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
