Masala Paniyaram
Ingredients
- 5 cups of dosa or idli batter
- 5 tsp of oil
- ¼ tsp of mustard seeds
- A generous pinch of hing (asafoetida)
- 2 tbsp of chopped onions or shallots (chinna vengayam)
- 2 tbsp of grated coconut (optional)
- 2 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves or curry leaves
- 4-5 tbsp of Indian sesame oil, for cooking
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the 1.5 tsp oil and add the mustard seeds.
- When they pop, add the hing and chopped onions or shallots. Fry until light golden brown.
- Turn off heat and add the coconut.
- Let the coconut get lightly toasted in the remaining heat
- Add it to the dosa batter along with the chopped coriander leaves and salt to taste.
- Mix well and set aside. The batter shouldn’t be too runny, the consistency of batter for making idli is perfect.
- Heat the paniyaram pan and fill the each hole up to ? with oil.
- Once the oil is heated, pour enough batter into each hole to fill it. The oil will float to the top and spill over to the other holes.
- On medium-low heat, cook the paniyaram for a good 3-4 mins until the bottom is nicely browned. Regulate the heat properly otherwise the inside will not cook properly.
- Once the top of the paniyaram has risen a bit and is no longer too runny, gently flip them with a skewer. Once all are flipped over, let the other side cook for 2-3 mins.
- Once both sides are golden brown, gently remove using the skewer onto serving plates.
