Masala Kuzhi Paniyaram

Often we get confused what to do with left over idli / dosa batter. Here is a better way to use the batter in a different and tasty manner. We can prepare masala kuzhi paniyaram with our dosa batter itself.

Lets see how to prepare this.

Ingredients:

Idli batter - 1 cup
Large Onion -  half, chopped
Green Chilli - 3, finely chopped
Asafoetida - a large pinch
Curry leaves - very few, finely chopped
Corriander leaves - very few, finely chopped

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together and set aside for 10 minutes. In the mean time, heat the paniyaram pan in stove in medium flame.

Grease the pan with 1 tsp oil in each mould of the pan. Once oil is heated, pour the batter into each moulds and sprinkle one more tsp of oil over the batter. Close the pan with a lid. Reduce the flame to low.

After 5 minutes, turn the other side with skewer. Take care that the paniyaram is not broken. Allow to cook on other side for 3 minutes. Sprinkle some more oil if you need. Flip both sides for few seconds and remove the paniyaram from pan.

Masala Kuzhi Paniyaram is now ready.  It goes very well with Kaara Chutney or coconut chutney.
