Kuzhi Paniyaram

Kuzhi paniyaram is simple breakfast or snack item which is popular in Tamilnadu especially Chettinadu,both sweet and savory versions can be made.This recipe I got it from my husband's grand mother who is an expert in cooking authentic dishes even at the age of 83.Whenever we visit her she makes both paniyaram for us  and accompanies with a spicy milagai chutney and coconut chutney.Yesterday I made the savory version which is called as masala paniyaram or kara paniyaram for evening snack....
