Method
Powder the jaggery and grate the coconut. Place the idli dosa batter in a bowl and mix it gently.
Add the jaggery and water to a small kadai. Heat on low flame for 3 to 4 minutes until the jaggery melts. Strain the syrup and set it aside for 5 minutes until lukewarm.
Mix the jaggery syrup, coconut, rice flour and cardamom powder into the batter. Stir until smooth and rest it for 5 minutes. The batter should be thick but easy to pour.
Heat a paniyaram pan on medium-low flame for 2 minutes until hot, then grease each hollow with a little ghee. Fill each hollow three-quarters full. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottoms are golden.
Turn each paniyaram with a spoon. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until both sides are golden. Open one and check that there is no wet batter inside. Cook the remaining batter the same way in batches of a full pan, about 5 to 6 minutes a batch, until all the paniyaram are done.
