Green Gram Dumpling | Pasiparrupu Paniyaram

By Ramya21

Usual paniyaram recipe needs rice flour and black gram or raw rice with black gram or urad dal.But this recipe does not need both the ingredients but this needs only an ingredient for making this wonderful snack and also another ingredient for sweetness.You may wonder what am talking about ,right ?I too wondered when i saw the event announcement for the first time in Facebook by Priya akka.And also this is one of the events I expected so far in this blogosphere and with immediate response i said yes to this event.Excited to know about the event right?Read below for more details.
 
I am talking about Ssssshhh secretly cooking challenge and this is a wonderful event which is happening between a pair exchanging two ingredients ie.,each one in the pair select two ingredients for other and vice versa.For this is the first pair,i paired with Subha from Indian Veggies Bhojan and she is one of my close friends too.I get really excited when Priya akka announced the pairs and we both on that day through phone and we had our ingredients on that day and decided to work then.She given me Green Gram and Jaggery as secret ingredients for me.
 
I thought of making some cake from these too but i skipped that will do that in future.One fine day,an idea strike my mind to make paniyaram from green Gram itself.Then soak the gram immediately ,grind and store it in refrigerator.Then the other day,i powdered jaggery and add it to the paste with cardamom powder.Then made paniyaram in the pan.Serve this piping hot.
