A traditional snack and breakfast option from Tamil Nadu, paniyaram requires a simple batter and a chatti pan to whip up. Here are some easy yet delicious varities of the dish you can try.
The classic type of paniyaram is made with fermented rice and urad dal, seasoned with salt and cooked until fluffy.
The spicier paniyaram is made with the same batter, but with the addition of green chillies, chopped onions, etc.
Quicker and easier, this paniyaram variety is made with semolina batter and a variety of vegetables.
This one is made with a sweet filling of jaggery, cardamom and grated coconuts and makes for a delicious treat.
Made with leftover dosa batter, this one has a rougher and crisper texture and is often flavoured with curry leaves.
Instead of a rice batter, this one is made with thinai or foxtail millets, making it a healthier choice.
Made with black rice from Tamil Nadu, this paniyaram variety has a beautiful black-ish colour.
A treat for kids and adults alike, this paniyaram is stuffed with cheese and veggies like corn and capsicum.
