Notes
Best side dishes are coconut chutney and tomato chutney. You can use any kind of quinoa to make this paniyaram. If you don't get quinoa, replace it with thinai (foxtail millet). You can make even dosa with the same batter. Don’t cook paniyaram in high flame, which will turn paniyaram brown and leaving uncooked on inside. Do not leave the batter outside for more than 6 hrs. Batter will turn tangy in taste. You can refrigerate batter for 2 days. After that it will turns sour in taste. For a healthier version, add grated carrot and chopped spinach to the batter.
