Mango Mania - Mango & Banana Gluten, Grain free low fat, stove top Munchkins(Sweet Paniyaram)

Photobucket


A pretty long name for such a small dish, eh? Every one has a favorite gadget in their kitchen which they love and use it often. For me Aebleskiver Pan or Danish Cake Pan or the Payiram Pan with which ever name you know is one such gadget and use it quite often in making a variety of dishes. Bitten by the mango bug and trying out various dishes using mango, I wouldn't do justice to my favorite kitchen gadget if I didn't try anything using it. So came up with this easy, delicious and high protein snack. My elder one's friend who had come to play with him thought that these cuties looked like the munchkins and preferred to call them the same. Now getting on to the recipe



Preparation Time - 10 Minutes

Cooking Time - 15 Minutes

Serves - Makes approximately 10





Ingredients



Mung & Urad batter - 1 Cup (See note below)

Grated coconut - 2 Tbsp

Mango pieces - 2 Tbsp

Banana (1/3 banana) - Mashed with a thick spoon into a nice puree

Cardamom powder - pinch

Grated Coconut - 2 Tbsp

Powdered Palm Sugar or Powdered Xylitol or Powdered Jaggery - 2 Heaped Tbsp (Jaggery tastes the best and next comes palm sugar and third comes xylitol in terms of the authentic taste)

Clarified butter - 1 Tbsp or more to your preference



Method



1) Add the grated coconut, mango pieces, cardamom powder, powdered sweetener of your choice, mashed banana to the ground bean batter and combine thoroughly.





2) Heat the Appam pan on medium heat and pour a drop of ghee in each one of the hole.


3) Once the pan is hot enough pour the batter, cover and cook little crispy on one side.


4) Now turn the appam and cook the other side. You can add little bit of more ghee to get a brown color on the other side too.


5) Remove the appam, when both the sides are well cooked.



Note - I soaked 1/2 Cup of Mung Bean and 1/2 Cup of Urad Dal for 3 hours and then washed, rinsed and ground them into a fluffy smooth batter. Used 1 cup of batter for these and used the rest to make dry fruits and nuts paniyaram which I will post later.



The idli batter also works out fine for this, but I prefer the one without grains.

Thanks all for your wonderful comments, do really appreciate it.Prathima, I haven't used rice in here but used Urad and Mung Dal. May be Urad Dal alone would work out too, but I haven't tried so can't comment on the taste.
