KARA PANIYARAM

Hi Everyone,

In south India we not only have spicy tasty dishes but also lovely and beautiful dishes in our menu.One of such beautiful appetising dish is PANIYARAM .

There are many versions and methods of making paniyaram , One of the easy version of making it is  with our Dosa batter.

There is a separate recipe for Dosa batter which I will share with you  soon but you can make paniyarams with Idli batter too .

Today I have made  paniyarams with my leftover idli batter only but the taste is delicious and there wont be much difference between idli batter paniyarams and dosa batter paniyarams.

PREPARATION :

1)      Chop onions , green chillies , curry leaves and coriander leaves finely .Grate the carrot also.

2)      In a bowl add the batter along with onions , green chillies , curry leaves ,carrot ,coriander leaves , salt and mix well.

3)      Heat the paniyaram pan and drizzle few drops of oil in each hole.

4)      Take a ladle full of mixed batter and fill half of  each hole ( as paniyaram will expand to full hole during boiling).

5)      Drizzle few drops of oil again on the top of each hole and boil in low or medium heat for 3 to 4 mis.

6)      When the edges of the paniyam are boiled use your spatula to flip  each paniyaram and boil for 2 more mins.

7)      When you insert a tooth pick in any of the paniyaram and you should find the tooth pick coming out dry without wet batter then it means your paniyarams are done.

8)      When done use your spatula to remove the paniyarams from pan and serve hot.

9)      I served it with kara chutney you can serve with any sidedish of your choice.

 NOTES :

1) I used paniyaram spatula for taking paniyarams you can use any thin , stick like metal to flip and take.

2) Don't cook in high heat as it will boil and turns brown in outer part but inside part will remain uncooked so always have patience in cooking paniyarams :)

HAPPY COOKING!!!
