    Chola Paniyaram is Kongunadu special recipe.Cholam is also called Sorghum or Jowar.I first saw this Chola Paniyaram in a millet hotel menu board which was outside the shop..I haven’t visited the hotel yet, but usually see the menu board whenever I pass by that hotel.So that made google about this chola paniyaram  and later found that its kongunad special.I got this recipe from my neighbors word of mouth, so tried it the next day itself.After trying chola dosai,had a cup of sorghum so used it up to try this paniyaram.
