Adai Paniyaram

Does the name interest you?? It was an interesting experiment and it turned out to be very tasty. I made some adai batter and instead of making it into dosas, I made paniyarams with it. It was nice and crunchy. We all loved it. It is a great way to make your little one eat a protein rich breakfast. Sure to be a hit with kids.

I am repeating the steps for making adai batter as well here. The batter should be thicker than adai dosai batter.
