Vegetable Paniyaram is a South Indian breakfast recipe made from idli/dosa batter and known as kuzhi Paniyaram in Tamil, Paddu in Kannada, and Gunta Ponugulu in Telugu. This is the perfect way to use up 1 or 2-day old idli/dosa batter, especially if it has turned a little sour.

Masala Paniyaram

I know a lot of people who really love paniyaram, and my husband is one of them. Perfect for kids as it has a good dose of vegetables and looks colorful/attractive.

This sunday, I had prepared masala dosa and I had some batter left. So, instead of reusing it, to again make dosa the next day, I ended up making these paniyarams.

To make it clear, paniyaram also goes by many other names like paddu, guliyappa, guntapongalu, appam, appe, ponganalu etc.
