Kuzhi paniyaram sounds fancy, yeah? Kuzhi Paniyaram is a actually a popular South Indian snack in which dosa batter is mixed with vegetables and seasoning, and shallow fried in special pans with little golf ball size holes (kuzhi in Tamil). This pan is a necessity, but once invested, you'll be rewarded!
My mom took a simple take on it this past weekend, and they turned out crispy and flavorful! This especially works well when you have dosa/idly batter that is a few days old and quite fermented (like uthappam consistency) .
Here's what you need:
- Dosa/Idly batter
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 2 serrano chili - finely chopped
- 2 tbsp curry leaves - finely chopped
- 1/4 cup grated carrot - optional
- Salt
- Oil
Method:
- Mix all the vegetables and salt into the batter.
- Heat up the pan and spoon 1/2 tsp oil into each hole.
- Scoop one tablespoon of batter into each hole.
- Flip over after a couple of minutes, and pull them out when they are golden.
- Repeat for the rest of the batter, oiling the pan before each batch.
Serve with chutney/sambhar. We had it with my paneer butter masala :P
