Idli dosa maavu paniyaram recipe crispy outer with a soft inner tastes so good for breakfast or for snack time.I usually make paniyaram using a batter specifically made for it but my neighbor suggested me to try this and I tried it for dinner and since then its regular at home.I even tried sweet paniyaram and it was tasty too, will post soon.
Ever since I bought my cast iron paniyaram pan which I love the most, making paniyaram is a breeze.I had nonstick first initially but thrashed it as I didn’t like the taste of the paniyarams using it.Then bought a indolium pan in Karaikudi, that came out super good but then maintaining it was a pain so was looking for alternative that’s when entered the world of cast iron and no looking back since then 🙂 2 Years back, I bought this cast iron paniyaram pan from a shop in 5 corner in Coimbatore which was Rs 300(as many will ask am posting this info here itself).
