Ingredients

• 2 cups - Dosa or idli batter
• 3-4 - Onions, ginger and green chillies cut into small pieces
• Pepper in small quantity
• Salt to taste.

How to Make Paniyarams

• Fry onions, ginger and green chillies finely cut into small pieces in a small quantity of coconut oil to get good flavour.
• Add a little pepper and salt. Add coriander leaves. After frying for a few minutes, mix these with the batter (dough).
• Place the paniyaaram vessel (also called paniyaaram stone) on the stove. Pour small amounts of cooking oil into the semi-circular holes.
• After the oil gets hot, using a large spoon, pour the dough mixture into the holes in such a way and in such quantities that the batter does not overflow.
• The dough begins to get fried in the oil. Keep adding little drops of oil for the entire mixture to get deep fry.
• After a while, using a butter knife, turn around the paniyaarams in the holes so that the uncooked portions also get fried.
• In a few minutes, hot paniyarms will be ready. A very handy dish for Sundays and holidays.
