Carrot Paniyaram

I am not sure if this dish already exists :).As far I am concerned it was an improvisation I made by myself to normal kuzhi paniyaram and certainly happy with the results. Infact nowadays I never make kuzhi paniyaram without carrot!! It makes an yummy breakfast on relaxing weekend with minimal efforts. You can suprise sudden guests too with this as a tea time snack. Sharing the recipe and hope you find it useful!!

Carrot Paniyaram

Cuisine: Indian Category: Breakfast Difficulty level: Easy Prep Time: -- Cook time: 30 mins Servings: 4

Ingredients Dosa Batter 2 Cups Onion 2 medium sized Carrot 1 small sized Green Chilli 2 Salt 1/4 Tsp Oil 1/4 cup To Temper Oil 1 Tsp Mustard 1/2 Tsp Asafetida A generous pinch

Method            1.     Chop the onions and green chili very finely and grate the carrot. In pan add oil and temper with mustard and Asafetida.   2.     Add the onions and green chili. Saute till the onions become translucent and add the grated carrot along with salt. Saute for few minutes and add this to the dosa batter.     3.     Heat the paniaram pan and add 1/2 tsp oil for each mould. Add the batter and cook in medium flame for 2-3 minutes.Gently flip and cook the other side for another 2 mins by adding little oil.     4.     Serve hot with any chutney of your choice!

Notes      ·         The batter should be bit sour. I usually make idly for first two days followed by dosa for next two days and finish off with paniyaram/oothappam.      ·         You can add ginger, 1/4 tsp vendayam while tempering if you like that taste.      ·         since paniyaram needs little more oil than dosa I prefer it for breakfast. You can make it as evening snacks/ dinner too.

Taste yumm with idli podi too!!!
