I got this kuzhi paniyaram recipe using leftover rice from my friend Shalini. I had some leftover rice lying in my pantry. I asked her to suggest me some interesting recipes using it. She immediately told me about this kuzhi paniyaram recipe. I ground the batter in the afternoon and prepared paniyaram for dinner. It was very nice, crispy outside, puffy and very soft inside. We loved it very much.
I used mixie to grind the batter which made my job much more easier.In this recipe I used sour curd. So the batter takes less time to ferment ( For me it took 4 hours). Based on the weather in your place , the fermentation time differs.It may need maximum of 6-8 hours.
If you grind the batter in the morning / afternoon (around 1pm) , you can use it for dinner. But my friend told this paniyaram can be made immediately/ instantly after grinding the batter. Thank you so much Shalini for this yummy recipe.
Do try this friends , you’ll love it a lot. Adding cooking soda is a must for this recipe. U can also try ENO fruit salt instead of cooking soda. Hope it gives the same result. 🙂
