Karupatti paniyaram / Palm jaggery sweet paniyaram – I made this easy, healthy and a traditional recipe on New year day. It is a popular sweet in Chettinad region, Tamil nadu and its served as prasadam for Pillayar nombu. It is prepared using raw rice, palm jaggery and its deep fried. But this batter recipe is completely different from the Chettinad ones and made in paniyaram pan using less oil / ghee. Usually I make sweet kuzhi paniyaram and Kara paniyaram recipe in two ways. One with leftover idli dosa batter and the other one is my MIL’s recipe that is prepared with a special batter ground using rice and dal. This time, I followed my cookbook and watched few Youtube channels for the recipe.
To make this recipe, I prepared a separate batter, paniyaram maavu with idli rice, raw rice and urad dal. You can also use our regular idli dosa batter instead. I used Karupatti for sweetness. You can replace it with jaggery powder. Addition of coconut and cardamom gives a nice flavor and taste. So please do not skip it. Ok, Lets see how to make sweet paniyaram with palm jaggery / Karupatti paniyaram recipe with step by step pictures and video.
