Chettinad Kuzhi Paniyaram/Shallow Fried Rice Ball Fritters



Kuzhi Paniyaram with Chutney!




We can use Aappam mavu/batter to make Kuzhi Paniyaram.

Aappam batter can also be used to make crispy Vendhaya/Fenugreek Dosai. Just we need to dilute the batter with little more water and make thin Dosais as usual. This will turn out very well, similar to the Restaurant Dosais.

Ingredients:

Aappam mavu/batter

Big onion – 1(finely chopped) (or)

Small Onion – 10 to 12 (finely chopped)

Curry leaves – few (finely chopped)

Coriander leaves – 1 tbsp. (finely chopped)

Spring onion – few sprigs (trimmed and finely chopped) – (optional)

Green Chilli – deseeded and finely chopped (optional)

Grated Carrot – 2 tbsp.

Salt – to taste

Vegetable mix!

 

Method:

Mix all the above ingredients and combine with the Aappam mavu. Take a non-stick Kuzhipaniyaram pan, grease with oil. Pour the batter until the kuzhi is half filled. When one side is done, turn over and cook the other side, until golden brown. It can be served with any kind of chutney or sambhar.

It’s very simple, yet very delicious. If you don’t possess a kuzhi-paniyaram pan, you can use Dosai  pan. You can make Mini Uthappams. Kids will enjoy both Kuzhipaniyaram and mini Uthappam.
