Tomato paniyaram recipe | south indian breakfast recipes

Kuzhi paniyarams we generally make with left over Idli| dosa batter. I have already posted the recipe of Chettinad kuzhi paniyaram. Very recently my mom was telling me to try the Thakkali dosai | tomato dosai and with the same recipe given by her i just made thakkali kuzhi paniyaram instead of thakkali dosai.  It turned out super soft and you can even try out with the left over idli |dosa batter too.

  • Serve them hot. This paniyaram pairs very well with coconut chutney.  Tomato kuzhi paniyaram    Note:
  • Let the consistency of the batter be not too thick or nor too watery. If thick the paniyarams will be dry and hard.
  • You can add finely chopped carrots and coconuts to the batter.
  • Green chillis can be replaced with red chilli powder. In that case, pulse the ginger and green chilli the mixer once and add, so that it will come while eating.
