Notes
- To make it more healthy, you can add grated carrot, cooked peas to the paniyaram batter.
- You can add finely chopped chilli to make the paniyaram taste spicy.
- Adjust the flame from medium to high to cook the paniyaram with golden tint on top as shown in the picture.
- Adding coriander leaves is optional but it adds a nice flavor.
- Add ghee instead of oil if you are making for kids. I make this way and pack for Raksha’s lunch box
