Instructions
- Drain the water from the masoor dal and grind it into a coarse paste by adding little water.
- Transfer the paste into a bowl and add salt and turmeric powder. Mix well.
- Heat a kuzhi paniyaram pan and drop a spoonful of batter into each cavity. Drop a few drops of oil in each cavity. Flip when the bottom portion is browned well. Brown both sides evenly.

- Mix flour in 2 tbsp water and make a paste. Add it into the pan. Stir it well to avoid lumps
