Paniyaram Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cups idli batter thick or dosa batter
1 onion medium, finely chopped
1 tbsp carrot grated
2 green chilies chopped
6 curry leaves torn
2 tbsp coriander leaves few chopped
1/2 tsp mustard
1 tbsp oil for seasoning
1 pinch hing
oil as needed for the frying
salt if needed

Recipe Instructions:

This section is optional and you can add all the ingredients directly to the batter.
But tempering makes the paniyaram flavorful.
Heat a pan with oil and add mustard.
When they crackle, add curry leaves.
Saute for a min.
Add onions, chilies and carrots.
Saute until the onions turn pink or raw smell disappears.
Then add coriander leaves and hing.
Cool this and add to the batter.
Making kuzhi paniyaram
taste the batter and add more salt if needed.
Batter must be of medium consistency not very thin or thick.
If needed sprinkle some water.
Grease the paniyaram pan and heat it.
Pour batter up to 3/4 in each mold.
Lower the heat and cook for 2 mins.
If desired you can cover and cook.
When the base is golden fried, flip them and cook until golden and cooked inside.
I usually check by poking a paniyaram with a fork or skewer to check if it is done inside.
Serve masala paniyaram with chutney or sambar.
