Banana Paniyaram With Wheat Flour

Here’s a simple recipe to make Banana Paniyaram with Wheat Flour:

Ingredients:

Ripe bananas: 2 (medium-sized)

Wheat flour: 1 cup

Jaggery: ½ cup (adjust to taste)

Grated coconut: 2 tbsp (optional)

Cardamom powder: ½ tsp

Baking soda: 1 pinch (optional, for softness)

Salt: 1 pinch

Water: as needed (to adjust batter consistency)

Ghee or oil: for frying

Instructions:

Prepare the Batter:

Mash the ripe bananas into a smooth paste using a fork.

Add jaggery to the mashed bananas and mix well until dissolved. You can add a little warm water if needed to melt the jaggery.

Add wheat flour, grated coconut, cardamom powder, a pinch of salt, and baking soda (if using). Mix to form a thick, smooth batter.

Add water gradually if needed to adjust the consistency. It should be pourable but not runny.

Heat the Paniyaram Pan:

Heat a paniyaram pan (appe pan) on medium flame and grease each cavity with a little ghee or oil.

Cook the Paniyaram:

Pour a small ladle of batter into each cavity, filling them about ¾ full.

Cover and cook on low to medium flame for 2–3 minutes or until the bottom turns golden brown.

Flip each paniyaram using a skewer or spoon and cook the other side until golden.

Serve:

Remove the cooked paniyarams from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve warm as a snack or dessert. You can enjoy it plain or with honey or a drizzle of ghee.
