Thinai Masala Paniyaram/Foxtail millet Paniyaram


Today's recipe is a healthy paniyaram recipe and used thinai/foxtail millet instead of rice.This is a great breakfast or snack option and doesn't need fermentaion.
I saw this recipe in a T.V show and used samai/little millet,as I don't get samai here substituted with thinai.The same recipe can be followed for the sweet version which I will share soon.As thinai has a mild sweet taste it tastes good with spicy kara chutney.With no further delay lets move on to the recipe...................................
