Recipe
1
Grind the soaked rice and urad dal into a smooth, thick batter without adding too much water, then let it ferment overnight.
2
Melt the grated palm jaggery in a quarter cup of water over low heat until dissolved, strain to remove impurities, and let it cool completely.
3
Mix the cooled jaggery syrup into the fermented batter along with grated coconut, cardamom powder, and edible camphor until well combined.
4
Heat a traditional paniyaram pan (aebleskiver pan) and add a few drops of ghee into each cavity.
5
Pour the batter into the cavities up to three-fourths full, cover with a lid, and cook on medium-low heat until the edges turn golden brown.
6
Flip the paniyarams carefully using a wooden skewer and cook the other side until crispy and thoroughly cooked inside.
7
Serve the hot palm jaggery paniyarams immediately alongside a freshly brewed cup of South Indian filter coffee.
