I mean it because it is made from idli-dosa batter that we use regularly at home.Usually on the third or fourth day when the batter is not appropriate for making idli we make these piping hot kuli-paniyarams for evening tiffin .my family has a special love for it to have it with a simple coconut chutney.I personally love to have it with spicy tomato chutney.I don’t use non-stick kuli paniyaram pan!!till date am using the regular one over years.I add lots of finally chopped onions than usual and asafoetida in the tadka instead of chopped ginger.I use stainless steel pointed rod for easy turn over of paniyarams.Now lets see how to make kuli paniyaram the ever-tempting snacky!!!
