Ingredients

Ideal measure for batter

Raw white rice - 2 cups
Udad dal/uluthamparuppu - 1 cup
Methi seeds/Fenugreek seeds/Vendhayam -Heap(Gopuram) over Udad dal (may come around 1 tbsp)

Raw white rice - 1 and 1/4 cup
Udad dal - 1 cup
Methi -heap over udad dal


Onions chopped -3
Curry leaves - chopped
Coriander leaves - chopped

Method.

Soak rice,udad dal,methi seeds together in water  for 3 to 4 hours.Grind them.Add salt and ferment the batter for 7 to 8 hours
To the fermented batter,add chopped onions,coriander leaves,curry leaves etc .
Heat the Paniyaram pan,add little oil in cavities.It is not necessary to add more oil to cook paniyaram.It can be cooked with optimum oil.
Add the batter to the cavities,close it with a lid and cook in medium flame.

After one side is properly cooked,turn them carefully and cook till golden brown and crispy.

Serve hot paniyarams with chutney.
