    Notes

    1. Tips & Variations

      • For kids replace green chilies with red chili powder.
      • Also cook in low-medium heat, if not you will end up having the raw batter in the middle.
      • You may use any combination of veggies minced broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, or greens like methi or drumstick leaves works too.
      • Use a skillet that has been seasoned well and used in the past. If not the paniyarams will stick to the skillet.

    SNACK - Onion Chutney - Here is the Recipe Link.

    SNACK - Orange - I removed the peel/skin of the orange and packed orange in the lunch box.

    Prep Work For The Previous Evening

    1. The idly/dosa batter should be prepared the previous evening and set to ferment overnight.
    2. Chop and grate the veggies for preparing paniyaram the previous evening and refrigerate in an airtight container.
    3. You can prepare onion chutney the previous night. This chutney stays good for 1-2 days when refrigerated.

    Notes

    • Packed in a stainless steel tiffin box called Lunchbots which is Eco-Friendly, Dishwasher Safe, BPA-Free and is easily available on Amazon. Do not use plastic lunch boxes to your kids, they are toxic.
    • You can increase or decrease quantity based on your child's appetite.
