We generally do this paniyaram varieties ( Sweet paniyaram and Kara paniyaram) in weekends for dinner. Its a favourite tiffin for all of us.Here I’ve mentioned the recipes of four different types of paniyaram. First variety is of Tanjore special which my MIL used to do (Both sweet and spice versions) .Then comes the recipe of a paniyaram which we tried after eating in AAB restaurant. Finally the one with leftover idli dosa batter which is my mom’s special. Lets see them one by one below.
My MIL tried this after we had it in a restaurant.It came out well.Very easy to make and simple ingredients!!
This is my mom‘s paniyaram recipe. I just love this.I like this more than all the above said ones.Last week when i was with my mom, she made this just for me :)I know this one has been blogged many times by different people in the blogosphere. I decided to post it anyway . The recipe is pretty straight forward.
To the leftover dosa batter add chopped onions, green chillies, curry leaves and grated ginger. Add the seasoning of mustard seeds and urad dal.Heat Paniyaram chatti (skillet). Fill the moulds with oil. I usually add little oil / ghee and add more if required. Cover the skillet. Cook the paniyarams on both sides.
Serve hot with fried gram dal /Pottu kadalai chutney .
