#healthyjunior - Kuzhi Paniyaram is a traditional South Indian breakfast, especially popular in Tamilnadu. In simple words they are fried idli / dumplings made from leftover idli dosa batter. They are prepared in a special mould called chatti. In this recipe I added a tempering of mustard seeds, asafoetida, urad dal and curry leaves to the batter before making these delicious small bites. They are relished with coconut chutney and sambar. It can be packed as a lunch box meal too.
