Paniyarams are popular food in South India. It can be prepared with rice or semolina. Its also called as “Appe”, “Guliappa” in certain places. To prepare paniyaram, it requires a special pan called as ” Paniyaram pan” .
I usually prepare paniyaram using Idli/Dosa batter. But this recipe is for making instant paniyaram using sooji / rava / Semolina, Its easy as well as tasty. It takes just 30 minutes rest time before cooking.
Its best for breakfasts as well as snack time. Rava paniyaram is best accompanied with any chutney like Coconut Chutney and Sambar. My personal favorite is Garlic chutney. So lets start with the recipe.
