Receta Barley paniyaram
Barley is very good for lowering bad cholesterol, it has lot of fiber, it helps reduce blood sugar level, good for weight loss etc. I always prepare paniyaram with lots of onion, cumin seeds, curry leaves, coriander leaves and asafoetida, which gives nice flavor and aroma to the paniyaram.
Ingredients:
Serves 4 to 5
For making batter:
- 1 cup – Barley
- 1 cup – Idli rice
- 1/2 cup – Whole black gram without skin / Ulunthu
- 2 tbsp – Flattened rice / poha / aval
- 1/8 tsp – Fenugreek seeds/ methi seeds / vendhayam
- Salt as needed
- Ice water for grinding For making paniyaram:
- 1 no – Onion (chopped finely)
- 1 or 2 – Green chili (chopped finely) – Completely optional
- 1/4 inch – ginger (chopped finely)
- 1 tsp – Cumin seeds
- 4 nos – Curry leaves (chopped finely)
- 1 tbsp – Coriander leaves
- 1 pinch – Asafoetida
- Salt as needed
- Oil as needed for making paniyaram Preparation method:
Making of batter:
Wash and soak barley, idly rice and whole black gram / ulunthu, poha along with fenugreek seeds for 6 hours or overnight.
Grind everything in a mixture grinder or wet grinder to a dosa batter consistency. Add enough salt and mix well, ferment this batter for upto 4 hrs or until well fermented. Making of paniyaram:
Take a wide bowl with enough barley batter, add chopped onion, green chillies, ginger, coriander leaves, curry leaves, cumin seeds, asafoetida and required salt; Mix well. Now paniyaram mix is ready.
Heat paniyaram pan. Put 2 to 3 drops of oil in each hole; fill each hole with the batter and drizzle few drops of oil on the top. After 1 to 2 minutes, flip over to cook the other side. Once both sides turn golden brown, switch off the stove and serve hot with spicy chutney. Notes:
Barley batter takes very less time to ferment, so check in between whether is done or not. Otherwise batter will be over fermented.
Since I used wet grinder for grinding, I soaked everything together for easy grinding.
If you think batter is little thick for making paniyaram, then add little water and bring it to desired consistency.
Green chillies are completely optional. I did not use it.
