How to Prepare Sorghum Banana Paniyaram: Indian Steamed Bread [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Wash and soak sorghum in water overnight. After draining the water completely, blend in a mixer until a smooth paste, adding 2-3 tablespoons water. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add rice flour, baking powder, grated jaggery, cardamom powder, and mashed banana. Mix everything well with a spoon. Add water until the mixture reaches a pouring consistency, it should not be too thick or too watery. Keep mixture aside for 10 minutes.
Heat a paniyaram pan and grease with oil. Pour a spoonful of prepared batter in all the cups of pan. Fry paniyaram evenly on both the sides by rotating the buns with a needle-like wooden stick. Cook on low-medium flame until it turns golden brown on both the sides. Serve hot.
