It is like talking to my old school friend! I just love the way….you wrote about this ‘Kuzhi Paniyaram’ you know! Gosh…you got a gift! Probably you should start writing! Its so nice to hear those lovely words like ‘Kuzhi paniyaram’, ‘Thalikara Karandi’, ‘summa thooki podum paaru’….I really miss that fun here!

You really made me hungry today…I have to make this now! The thing is…I brought a ‘Kuzhi Paniyam Kal’ last year….since its not a non-stick one….kind of having hard time with it! Anyway…will figure out something and dedicate the recipe to you!:)

you can do the same way for kuzhi paniyaram.actually in kerala my granny does it in another fashion,but she nevers speaks about her cooking recipes…meany!!But my mother in law does this at times..but i love the savoury kuzhi paniyaram…

i thought i could share it with you…

here you go:

dosa batter 2 cups

( made by wet grinding 4 cups idly rice with 1 cup urid dhal, ferment for 6-8 hours.remove and refrigerate)

tempering: each 1 tsp
mustard
urid dhal
jeerakam

green chillies 2 chopped finely
ginger 1/2″ pc chopped finely

curry leaves 8-10 leaves
coriander leaves 8-10 leaves
asafoetida 1/2 pinch
salt as per taste.

add all these in the thalikara karandi(tempering spoon) and add it to the batter. let it sit for 20 mins. heat the paniyaram pan. and pour the batter 3/4 th in each holder. top it with oil if you llike. flip each side after every 2 mins or when a golden crisp coat forms.

enjoy with pottu kadalai chutney..
