Paddu or kuzhi paniyaram or masala paniyaram is a popular South Indian snack recipe made with idli batter and mild spices mixed to it. They are spiced dumplings which are crisp outside but soft from inside. You can have this as a breakfast dish or as a light evening snack.
Kuzhi paniyaram can be prepared quickly if you have the idli batter ready with you. Also you need to have a paniyaram pan which is readily available in the market.
There are two versions of paniyaram.. masala paniyaram and sweet paniyaram. This is the spicy version of paniyaram.
You can make your version by adding grated carrot or cabbage and make it more healthier. They are best served with coconut or green chutney or sambar.
