Rava Kara Paniyaram is one recipe which i made recently and loved it instantly. It is a simple recipe and taste really delicious. The paniyaram turns out so soft and fluffy. Loved the texture as well..
I use my non stick kuzhi paniyaram pan, it is my favourite. Because you can experiment with any of your own kuzhi paniyaram in this and it will make sure it comes off easily without sticking..This is my recent experiment and i loved it to the core..
This recipe calls for few ingredients. I just added onions, you can add carrots, beans, cabbage and capsicum. This way it turns even more healthy..

Should we add baking powder to the batter? Isnt it unhealthy?? Is there any alternate for that since I dont want to add it..
@Anonymousyou can add eno fruit salt instead of baking soda
Tried it today for the breakfast. Every one relished it. Thanks Aarti for making cooking so easy and interesting.
Aarti have u watched the movie called Julie and Julia. U r my Julia 😊
What can I use instead of a paniyaram pan ?
@Anonymousu can make this as small ithappam.
hi Arthi , do we need to dry roast the Rava before adding curd into it ??
@divya krishnacharno need to roast..but if you like the flavour of roasted rava u can do it.
This is a grt idea when u dont have idli batter available. Will surely try this next time.How much eno can be added instead of 1/2 tsp of baking soda?? Wud one sachet be enough?
@Unknownadd a tsp of eno
If the same batter is poured in idli moulds Ravi idli will be ready .. Am I right Aarthi ?
yes i think so
Tried it came out good.I dry roasted wheat rava and powered it. Thank for the simple and easy steps
Hi arthi,tried this recipe but got stuck and was like uppma in the paniyram kuzhi,i dint roast the raa and used iron pan.
