To the ragi flour add the jaggery syrup along with grated coconut,rice flour, cardamon powder, broken cashew pieces. Mix well so that no lumps exist.
If taken in laddle it should be in pouring consistency ( take care that in should not be very liquid because the shape on paniyaram wont be good).
In kadai heat oil. and slow down the flame.
When oil is hot pour one small laddle of the flour mixture. It will rise to the surface of the oil. Keep turning the paniyaram so that it will be cooked evenly. The color changes slightly and bubbles will come down.
Take out from oil and transfer to tissue paper to take out the excess oil from the sweet.
