Kuzhi Paniyaram

Kuzhi paniyaram has been one of my favorite snacks since childhood. My mom used to make these beauties both savory and sweet versions and serve them piping hot as evening snacks after we return home from school. They taste great by themselves or along with some spicy chutney.

 I was only able to drool at these kuzhi paniyarams when I saw them in various food blogs until I got these back along with me after our trip to India last year. Now these has been a regular favorite in our household. Now moving onto the recipe..

Ingredients
Idly/Dosai Batter - 2 cups
Onion - 1/2
Green chillies - 2
Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
Urad dal - 1 teaspoon
Asafoetida/Hing - 1 pinch
Curry leaves - few
Coriander leaves/Cilantro - 1 tablespoon chopped
Oil - 1 tablespoon
Salt to taste

Directions
Chop the green chillies and onion finely.
Heat oil in a saucepan and add the mustard seeds, urad dal, asafoetida, onions, green chillies, curry leaves one by one saute for a minute.

Add the tempering to the dosa/idli batter and mix well. Season with salt if needed.

Heat the kuzhi paniyaram pan and add a drop of oil in each hole. Add a spoonful of the batter in each hole.

Allow it to cook for a minute and with the help of the wooden skewer provided along with the pan flip the paniyarams over. Allow it to cook on the other side and remove from the pan.

Serve warm by itself or along with a chutney of your choice.

Outside India, you could get the aebleskiver pan and use it to make these kuzhi paniyarams.
