A south Indian breakfast recipe which is known as Paniyaram in Tamilnadu, paddu in Kannada and ponganalu in Telegu. Typically, paniyaram is extremely delicious which is prepared by soaking and grinding different lentils and rice together and fermenting it overnight. But this recipe is a lot easier than the normal paniyaram, no need to soak more time, skip worrying about the batter going unfermented during winter. Here I use leftover idli batter or dosa batter, with Idli rava/ semolina. They are basically a shallow fried bite sized breakfast or snack recipe. But it has subtle variations from region to region. while it is one of the easiest instant breakfast recipes. here we add seasoned onions and green chilli, instead you can improvise by adding finely chopped vegetables too. Instant paniyaram taste great when served hot with any type of chutney, however it can be packed for kids in lunch box.
