Masala Paniyaram with Idli Dosa Batter | Kuzhi Paniyaram
Masala paniyaram is a tasty Kuzhi paniyaram made with left over Idli dosa batter. This is good way to finish the batter.
During our childhood days, whenever we get bored of idli/dosa, kuzhi paniyaram is an immediate alternative Amma prepares with idli/dosa batter. For preparing this dish, Kuzhi paniyaram stand and left over idli/dosa batter is all that's needed. I tried savory version. If you don't have kuzhi paniyaram pan, try frying it in oil to enjoy quick snack 🙂
