#boxweek7 - Check out my version of paniyaram made of mixed lentils, where I have added some chopped spinach, onion, green chilies, and few dry spices. They are crisp from the outside and soft from the inside. Healthy and nutritious, they can be relished as a tea-time snack or as an appetizer with tomato ketchup or any homemade chutney. #dal_palak #dalpalak
