Take all ingredients in a bowl except ghee. Add water and make into a soft and smooth batter. Let this mixture sit for 15 mins.
Now heat a paniyaram pan. I used a nonstick paniyaram chatti.
Add in ghee and let that heat up. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the chatti and fry till golden. Flip over and cook on other side too till it is crispy.
