Recipe
1
Melt the jaggery in half a cup of water over low heat until dissolved, then strain the syrup to remove any impurities.
2
Dry roast the rice flour in a pan on low flame for 5 minutes until aromatic, being careful not to brown it.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted rice flour, grated coconut, roasted chana dal, cardamom powder, and edible camphor.
4
Gradually pour the warm jaggery syrup into the dry mixture, stirring continuously to form a thick, smooth, and lump-free batter.
5
Heat a traditional Paniyaram pan and add a few drops of ghee into each cavity.
6
Spoon the batter into the cavities up to three-quarters full, cover, and cook on medium-low heat until the bottom turns golden brown.
7
Flip the dumplings carefully and cook the other side until crisp and evenly golden, adding a drop more ghee if needed.
8
Brew the fresh coffee decoction using a traditional filter, mix with hot boiled milk and sugar to taste, and serve alongside the hot Paniyaram.
