Carrot Paniyaram : Carrot Paniyaram or Carrot Kuzhi paniyaram is an Indian dish made by steaming batter using a mould. The batter is made of black lentils and rice and is similar in composition to the batter used to make idli and dosa. Other names for paniyaram are Paddu/Guliyappa/Yeriyappa/ Gunta Ponganalu /appadadde.
Its been raining all week. Dully, gloomy weather with low lying clouds all day. Wanting to warm up indoors, I was thinking of ways to create a spicy yummy breakfast, to pep up our mood indoors.
