#reshkitchen Kuzhi Paniyaram is one of the popular South Indian breakfast/dinner dish. Usually kids will get bored of Idli and Dosa varieties for them Paniyaram is the best alternative. Also when the Idli/Dosa batter turns sour you can make Kara Kuzhi Paniyaram out of it.
In this recipe I have used the left over Idli/Dosa batter. Whenever I make Idli/Dosa batter atleast once I used to prepare Kara Kuzhi Paniyaram. You can make either Sweet or Spicy Kuzhi Paniyaram. For Sweet Kuzhi Paniyaram I prefer using the fresh batter.
Okay now let’s move on to how to prepare Kara Kuzhi Paniyaram

Steps

15 mins

1

In a pan add oil once oil heated up, add mustard seeds. After mustard splutters add urad dal. Wait until urad dal becomes golden brown.
2

Next add chopped onion, green chilies, ginger, curry leaves and coriander leaves. Sauté till onion becomes transparent.
3

Allow it to cool for sometime then add the mixture to the Idli/Dosa Batter and mix well. Now Kara Kuzhi Paniyaram Batter is ready!
4

Heat the paniyaram pan/paniyarakkal in medium flame and once heated up add few drops of oil in each hole.
5

Once oil gets heated, pour the batter using small ladle (கரண்டி) in each round/hole as shown in the picture. Allow it to cook for 2 to 3 minutes in medium low flame.
6

You could find small holes coming up and edges also turning golden brown, now flip the Paniyaram to the other side using stainless steel stick (I used சிணுக்கோலி).
Allow it to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes in medium low flame. [Note: Flip the Paniyaram in the same order you poured the batter]
Tip: To get more crispiness add few drops of oil in each round once you flipped all Paniyaram.
7

After 2 minutes you can remove using either stainless steel stick or stick given along with paniyarakkal.
Kara Kuzhi Paniyaram is ready ! Serve hot with Sambar or with any Chutney Varieties.
