It should be served hot for breakfast as well as a meal. Do try this!
The key to making soft panori at home are
- Firstly, I made panori with green moong dal, you can also use other lentils like chana dal and urad dal instead of it.
- Dal batter has to be a thick and spreading consistency hence add water in small batches while grounding the soaked moong dal beans.
- Whisk the batter for 5 minutes in one direction, so air particles incorporate into it and it becomes fluffy, which helps to make soft panori.
- Take a deep vessel for making panori, so steam pressure will generate and panori cook properly.
- Steam panori on high-medium flame. do not steam it on low flame.
- Lastly, panori tastes great when served hot with peanut oil and achar masala.
