    About Kuzhi Paniyaram Recipe

    I have already shared paniyaram recipe but this is an authentic recipe for the chettinad kuzhi paniyaram handed down to me by my perimma. She made it once brought home, it was delicious. I asked her the recipe and made it immediately and it was a huge success.

    There is a special way to measuring dal and rice. Normally it is measured in a ulakku, but i used a measuring cup. Measure raw rice in a cup of flatten the top of it. Now top with urad dal so it is mounted like. This is how it is measured. But i have given a easy measure like 1 cup raw rice and ¼ cup urad dal. You have soak both of it together and grind in a blender or grinder. Grinding it in a grinder is best.
