Recipe Notes

Fermenting the batter overnight gives nice softness to the Paniyaram.
If preparing immediately then add in 1 teaspoon of cooking soda
Cooking Soda helps in nice texture of the paniyaram.
Cooking them in ghee gives nice aroma.
If making instant paniyaram with this batter banana can be added into the batter for softness.
If you wish to have sweeter paniyaram increase the amount of jaggery.
I have added moderate sweetness.
The batter must be a bit runny. Adjust the water accordingly.
