Paniyaram is an Indian dish prepared by cooking the prepared batter in a special panniyaram mold. The basic Idli dosa batter is used in preparing Paniyaram.
So many variations are done in the basic batter by adding Vegetables or by making it Sweet or Spicy. It is called Paddu in Kannada and Ponganalu in Telugu. Kuzhi Paniyaram is a famous dish in Chettinadu Cuisine.
It makes a perfect dish for a Kids' lunch box or Snack box. It can be prepared easily in less time. Usually, we prepare them with the last batch of the Idli Dosa batter.
Ingredients
Idli Dosa Batter - The main ingredient for panniyaram. Have the batter in the same consistency as we have for idli. Adjust the salt and water accordingly.
Onions- Use small onions or finely chopped red onions as you prefer.
Carrots - Use freshly grated carrots.
Oil - Use any cooking oil, I prefer gingelly oil or groundnut oil.
Tadka - Mustard, cumin, Urad, and Channa Dal. These are the basics for any tadka and give a nice texture.
Green Chilli - Use one or two as per your spice levels. If serving kids, I suggest skipping them.
Ginger - Chop the ginger finely and add to the tadka. Gives so much flavor.
Curry Leaves - a mandate for any Indian cooking. You can chop the curry leaves finely and then add them. So that nobody will leave them without eating.
How to make Carrot Kuzhi Panniyaram

Next, add grated carrots. Saute for 2 mins and switch off.
In a bowl take Idli Dosa Batter. Add the Required salt and water and adjust the consistency.
Add the prepared carrot masala to the idli dosa batter.
Gently mix until combined. Carrot Panniyaram batter is now ready.
Now heat the Panniyaram /appe pan with oil.
Pour the prepared batter into the pan. Cover and cook on a medium flame for 5 mins. Make sure you fill only above ¾ of the panniyaram cavity with batter. Don't fill the cavity with batter fully.
After 5 mins flip the panniyaram and cook the other side for another 2 mins.
Once fully cooked, remove it from the pan and serve hot with Chutney. Carrot Kuzhi Panniyaram is now ready.
