KUZHI PANIYARAM
Paniyaram is the famous tiffin variety that can be had as breakfast or dinner . It can also be had as evening snacks. It goes well with chutney or sambar. Paniyaram is a chettinad cuisine based dish that is popular in all parts of south India.
This can be made with various versions like mixed vegetable paniyaram,dry fruits paniyaram , sweet paniyaram with jaggery. Here comes the basic version of savory paniyaram with onion . We can use idli / dosa batter for making paniyaram. It turns out so yummy.

Idli / Dosa Batter - 2 cups
Shallots - 10 Nos (finely chopped)

My Notes:
1. You can add vegetables of your choice by finely chopping it.
2. I did not add salt to vegetables, you can add if necessary.
3. You can even add the vegetables directly to the batter . But it takes more time to cook.
