    I made this Paniyaram along with Therali Kolukattai  on ganesh chaturthi, but never got a chance to post it till today. This one is going to be a long post, so bare with me.

    This recipe is from my grand mother, it is like a very traditional recipe in our place. This is a compulsary one on ganesh chaturthi. Traditionally we make it in the heart shaped leaf which is known as arasa maram leaf. But it is hard to find, so you can make this in plain banana leaf. But for people who cannot get banana leaf, you can make it in aluminium foil too.

    The outer layer will be very thin and chewy, which contains the sweet coconuty filling. It is simply amazing. There is one more stuffing which is made from jack fruit which goes into this. I will post that in another post. That one is my favorite.

      @Sarithaa SamyI have never seen people using karupatti. If you want you can use it, but the taste will be completely different
