Tried this Gujarati snack for breakfast yesterday and it turned out to be super yum and of course healthy AF because it’s neither fried nor baked. It’s cooked using steam hence almost negligible oil is used while cooking this delicacy.
Paanki, as the name suggests is cooked in between giant banana leaf. Wondering how is that possible??
Well, Let me show you an easy and quick way to make this mouth watering steamed paanki for those Kitty Parties, weekend snacks and anytime hunger pangs !!

2 tbsp curd
2 Chopped green chillies
handful of coriander leaves
1 tsp Asafoetida (Heeng)
1 tsp cumin (Jeera)
1 tsp Ginger garlic paste OR garlic powder
1 tsp salt
Water as required
Method :
Take a bowl and add rice flour, urad dal flour, cumin, Heeng, salt, coriander leaves, ginger garlic paste, curd and mix it properly. Make sure that no Lumps are formed. Add water to it and make a slightly soft batter which is neither too runny nor too stiff. Keep the mix aside for 10 minutes.
Take a Banana leaf , fold it in half vertically and chop off the centre stem. Now you will have one side of leaf on top of the other leaf. Cut it into 3 equal parts or according to the size of your skillet.
Take the darker part of leaf and brush a bit of oil on both the leaves. Make sure you don’t brush oil on both the sides of a leaf. Now add 2-3 spoons of the mix and spread it evenly. Now place the other oiled leaf on top of it and press it gently.
Heat skillet on medium flame and place the leaf on top. You will hear a crackling sound. The leaf will start to shrink .Flip it and cook it. The leaf will shrink and turn golden brown. Try to remove one side for checking . The Paanki should easily come off the leaf.
Your Paanki is ready to eat. Serve it hot with Green chutney and curd. Though I love eating it without anything on side :)
