Paniyaram Recipe (Kuzhi Paniyaram)

Paniyaram Recipe (Kuzhi Paniyaram) – Paniyaram is a South Indian snack that comes from the Chettinad cuisine. They look similar to dumplings or donut holes that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. However, they can be sweet or savory and made using fermented lentil and rice batter. It is famous as Ponganalu in Andhra and Kuzhi (means pit) paniyaram in Tamil. The batter seems like the batter of idli and dosa. That is why you can also use leftover idli or dosa batter, specifically if it’s about to get sour, to make savory paniyaram. In this Paniyaram Recipe (Kuzhi Paniyaram), the batter is included with spices, herbs, and veggies to make it more delicious.
