- HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE PADDU OR MASALA OR SPICY PANIYARAM RECIPE
Take the idli batter to a mixing bowl. To this batter, add chopped onions, ginger, green chillies, grated coconut, curry leaves, coriander leaves and salt and mix well.
Heat a paniyaran pan on a medium flame. Add 2-3 drops of oil to each mould. Pour the spiced idli batter to each mould upto 3/4 of the mould. Cook on the medium flame. Once the edges turn golden brown, flip the paniyaram on the other side and cook for another 2 minutes or till golden brown. Add oil on the other side if required.
Once cooked on both the sides, remove the paniyaram from the pan to a serving plate.
Serve masala paniyarams hot or warm with coconut chutney or sambar or tomato chutney.
NOTES/TIPS
Ensure the batter is little thick for holding the paniyaram shape.
Use non-stick paniyaram pan for a healthier version, as it requires very little oil.
Add grated carrot or cabbage to the batter to make it more nutritious and healthy.
