Soak the rice for about 3 to 4 hours. Drain the rice and spread it on a white, clean cloth. Let the cloth absorb the water for about 15 to 30

minutes.

4.

Powder the rice in a mixer or in the flour mill. Wet Rice

grinding flour mills are not available everywhere. They are very popular in Tamil Nadu. 5. Sieve the rice in the fine or a little bigger one (the one

which we use for sieving Rava). 6. Crush the Karupatti with a stone so that it breaks into

very small pieces. If using Jaggery, grate it with a grater. 7. Put the Karupatti in a kadai, a thick bottomed vessel,

pour about 1 cup of water and let the water boil. 8. Start smashing the Karupatti so that all of them dissolve

in the water. 9. After it dissolves fully, add the Jaggery and let it also

dissolve. 10. Remove the vessel from fire and let it cool a little. 11. Strain it with a strainer so that all the dust and unwanted wastes are strained. 12. The syrup should be little thick not very watery or very thick. 13. Now add this syrup to the grinded and sieved flour. Keep some flour handy so that you can add it if needed. Add

the syrup little by little to the flour and not all at once. And keep mixing it in the flour with your hand. 14. This step is where you have to remove the dough for the Elai Maavu. Once you have mixed the flour and the jaggery mixture, it will form like a dough. Remove the amount of dough you want for the Elai maavu. 15. In the remaining dough mix the remaining Jaggery mixture and mix well. Close it with a lid and keep it with in a side. 16. Add little ghee to the dough which you had kept for the Elai Maavu and mix it well. Keep it in a correct sized box and close it with a tight lid. 17. When you want to make the Paniyaram, heat enough oil in a kadai for deep frying the Paniyarams. If you want heat a mixture of ghee and oil or vanaspati. I prefer to use only oil. 18. Take the a dough in a deep vessel and add some water to it. Make the dough to a running consistency. It should be of the Idli Maavu consistency not too watery. 19. Mix well and pour it in the hot oil with a ladle.

20. Once cooked it will come up on its own, turnover cook for a few seconds about a half a minute and remove it after draining the oil. 21. So now our Karupatti Paniyaram and Elai Maavu is ready for the Pooja. 22. Shape the Elai Maavu in small conical shapes and put the wick made of 21 thin threads in between and keep it ready.
