Masala Paniyaram With Cheese And Corn Recipe, Masala Paniyaram Recipe

January 2, 2015 by maria 4 Comments

Masala Paniyaram are quite regular at my house for a quick and healthy snack. I make a lot of version so this time I always make masala paniyaram with cheese and corn recipe sound like you are hungry 😉 For people who don’t know what paniyarams are?? They are crispy balls from out and soft from within made with leftover idli or dosa batter. Masala paniyaram’s are also known as kuzhi paniyaram, appes, appams and paddu.

Paniyarams batter has to be thick like a idli batter. Later onion, chilies, ginger, green chilies, coriander leaves, fresh grated coconut etc are added. Then they are made in ebelskiver pan or the appe / paniyaram mou-lds. If you don’t have a mould then make fritters or pancakes with this batter.

I had a lot of sweetcorn hence I thought of coming with my own version of paniyaram. Cheese goes well with corn hence added for a great combination. Now when you add cheese ensure you place them in the center or add them as topping over the paniyarams. As cheese melts it would get stuck to your mould and make a messy affair for you to clean them later.

This serves as a great side snack, lunch box or a quick snack option for guests or kids. All you need is the idli batter you could make them home preferably or buy from the stores. But whichever batter you are using ensure it’s properly fermented batter for the paniyaram’s

You could play with the recipe and make your own version of paniyarams. There are two version of paniyarams one is sweet and the other is spicy one. So make your version soon. They are generally served with green or red chutney or serve with tomato sauce for kids 🙂

      Nikki muffin pan can be used for baking but placing on a gas stove doesn’t seems to be a good idea. Instead just make pancakes or dosa from the paniyarams batter.
