Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rava, 1 cup of yogurt, and 1 cup of water. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Add the sautéed mixture, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of Eno fruit salt to the rava batter. Mix gently and thoroughly.

Step 6

Heat a paniyaram pan over medium heat and grease each cavity lightly with oil.

Step 7

Pour a spoonful of the batter into each cavity. Cook on a low flame until the edges start to come away and the bottoms turn golden brown.

Flip the paniyarams using a skewer or a small spoon and cook the other side until golden brown.
