Mixed dal paniyaram (paruppu paniyaram)

I have had rice kuzhi paniyaram, I usually prepare it with dosa batter. Dal paniyaram is a new idea. I have used the batter similar to paruppu dosa, with a twist by adding some vegetables. It turned out really good and the color of the paniyaram looked really appetizing.

Ingredients:

Raw Rice - 1 cup
Toor dal - 1/2 cup
Channa dal - 1/2 cup
Urad dal - 2 tbsp (whole without skin)
Ginger - 1 inch
Red chilies - 2 

Turmeric - a pinch
Hing - a pinch 

Veggies:
Carrot - 1
Peas -  a fistful ( Used frozen)
beans - 6
Scallions - 4
Oil - 1 tsp + some for paniyaram prep

Seasoning : 

Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Urad dal - 1tsp (broken)
Curry leaves - few

Method: 

Soak raw rice , toor dal, channa dal and urad dal for 4-5 hours. Then grind it with red chilies + ginger and salt.
In a pan, heat a tbsp of oil add mustard seeds once it splutters add urad dal and curry leaves, wait till dal turn slightly brown.
Now add the vegetables, fry for few minutes and then close the pan. Keep stirring in between, it will get cooked in 10 minutes. Mix the cooked vegetables with the grounded dal mixture and add turmeric, have a quick salt check. You can add cilantro, if you want. 

Take paniyaram mold, add a tsp of oil in every hole and add the flour until it reaches the mouth of the hole. 
Then cover the pan with a lid, after few minutes open and remove by checking  with  a tooth pick  & it comes out clean. 
If you use the non stick mold, no need to add oil. We had it with coconut chutney, it goes well with any kind of chutney.
