Kuzhi paniyaram recipe is a popular South Indian breakfast recipe made with leftover idli or dosa batter. There is an instant version available, in which rava (semolina) is used. Paniyarams are round mini dumplings, with crispy from outside and soft from inside. If you have leftover idli or dosa batter, then you can add some veggies, some spices, and make quick paniyarams.

In this recipe, I have used only carrot and onions, but you can use any veggies you like. You can also add capsicum, french beans, green moong, etc. I especially make use of sprouted pulses like green moong, boiled mashed chickpeas, etc.

There are special pans for paniyarams or appe. These are called as appe pans. Traditionally these pans are made up of cast iron and are very heavy in weight. But, new modern pans are non-stick and lightweight. These pans are also called as Aebleskiver pan. Paniyarams are also called as appe. Serve this kuzhi paniyaram recipe immediately when hot along with coconut chutney to tomato chutney.

Notes

• To check if Paniyaram has cooked or not, then using a knife, poke inside one Paniyaram. If nothing sticks to the knife, then your paniyaram is cooked properly. If the batter sticks, then you need to cook it for some more time.
• You can directly add the vegetables without tempering. Tempering removes the raw taste from the veggies.
• You can add vegetables of your own like peas, capsicum, etc.
• Cook the paniyaram on low flame to cook it evenly and properly.
• You can also add coconut with the veggies.
