Quick and Easy Paniyaram

Paniyaram - these small fluffy round Danish style Indian savory pancakes for lack of a better term is loved by all. The kids love it and along with some coconut chutney it is perhaps the best weekend breakfast item. Why only weekend because unlike dosai or idli you need to enjoy this in a relaxed manner.


If you make idli batter half the work is already done. In a few days when the batter becomes sour and you are wondering what to do - paniyaram should be the answer.

Get the batter and the onions, chilies, curry leaves and cumin ready.
Blend the onions,chilies, cumin and curry leaves and mix it into the idli batter.
Heat the paniyaram pan, grease each hole with oil and add the batter into each hole.
Flip and cook on the other side.

The perfect breakfast for a weekend.
