Ingredients

  • 2 Cup Maida flour (all-purpose flour)
  • ¼ Cup Rice flour
  • 1 Pinch Baking soda
  • ½ Teaspoon Kesari powder (orange food colouring)
  • 1 Cup Curd (yogurt)
  • 2¼ Cup Sugar
  • Dalda or oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Mix both flours together, add the curd, and dissolve with a little water to a paniyaram-batter consistency. Add enough water to cover the sugar, mix in the kesari powder, and prepare a one-string syrup. Heat oil in a pan; once hot, pour in a ladle of the batter and remove once cooked. Drop it into the sugar syrup, and once it has soaked up the syrup, take it out and set aside.
