Notes

  • Fill kadai with enough oil for the paniyarams to immerse fully only then it will puff up well.
  • I used my small kadai as only one paniyaram can be made at a time.
  • Do not add more water while grinding as after adding sugar it makes the mixture runny so add accordingly.
  • The main trick is to get the batter consistency right so be very careful while adding water.
