Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Kuzhi paniyaram (Tamil: குழி பணியாரம்) is Chettinad special cusine  made by steaming batter using a mould (Paniyarakkal in Tamil). This recipe is about making Paniyaram using  left over Idli Batter. We can enrich that batter with grated coconut, carrot, onion along with spicy tempering. We need Kuzhi paniyaram pan for making this yummy recipe.

Extremely soft and fluffy paniyaram with crunchy outer is a scrumptious tiffin / breakfast for the kids and family. Tastes well when served hot with chutney or sambar.

Mostly once a week, I make Kuzhi paniyaram for kids Lunch Box or for evening tiffin. I always reserve 2 cups of idli/dosa batter just to make yummy Paniyaram. With left over Idli/Dosa batter, this is a very quick and easy to make tiffin. We can use the same prepared batter and add a tablespoon of semolina and drop dollop of batter in hot oil and deep fry to get yummy Punugulu.

Conventional method to make Paniyaram

The conventional way of making Paniyaram is by making a fresh batter. We need to soak parboiled rice, raw rice and dal & Fenugreek seeds for 2 hours and grind it to smooth batter. Then add salt and ferment the batter overnight. With the fermented batter, we can follow the rest of the below procedure to make yummy and tasty Kuzhi Paniyaram.
