To make jaggery syrup:

How to make Sweet paniyaram recipe:
- Soak raw rice, parboiled rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds in water overnight or for 4 to 5 hours.
- Rinse well and grind urad dal and fenugreek seeds together. Once the batter reaches coarse level, add raw rice and parboiled rice.
- Grind it to idli batter consistency. Let it sit for 4 hours to get the batter fermented.
- Before preparing the paniyaram, prepare jaggery syrup.
- Heat a sauce pan, Add jaggery and water in it.
- Allow it to boil till it reaches sing string consistency. Switch off the flame, add cardamom powder.
- Drain it to remove any impurities.
- Mix the jaggery syrup and a pinch of salt to the batter and mix well.
- Heat paniyaram pan, pour ½ tsp of oil or ghee in each round. Then pour ¾ th level of paniyaram batter and close with lid.
- Keep the flame low.After a minute, flip all the paniyaram using fork or spoon to cook on another side.
- It will get cooked in 2 mins.Take all the paniyaram using a spoon and place it in a bowl. Serve as hot.
Notes:
- Use jaggery as of your taste. I always want the paniyaram to be moderate in sweet. So you add more jaggery if you are a sweet tooth.
- A pinch of salt is enough. The addition of salt in sweet always enhances the taste. So don’t skip it.
- Keep the flame low as it will avoid burning the paniyaram.
