Soft and Puffy Paniyaram

   Want to make your Paniyarams soft and puffy? Most people prepare paniyaram with Idli batter only. This will mostly become hard and will not puffy.  To avoid this we make paniyaram slightly different using a mixture of raw and par boiled idli rice. This recipe is a traditional recipe from our kitchen (Kongu Region).
