Kuzhi Paniyaram

Kuzhi paniyaram or rice bun is amazing evening snack. I love the crunchy onions, channa dhal and flavour of ginger in every bite!!! yummo....Its very easy to prepare, if u have a proper kuzhi paniyaram pan...

I was craving for kuzhi paniyaram for past 1 year...my In-laws came to visit us. I asked them bring kuzhi paniyaram pan and Grinder!!! Its very hard to make idli batter with preethi mixie..when they safely arrived home, after unpacking..the first thing i prepared was kuzhi paniyaram.. what heavenly taste..suddenly u realize how much u missed all these small things...which was part of Ur childhood..
