PULICHA MAAVU PANIYARAM

Kuzhipaniyaram is basically of Chettinad origin often served as breakfast. My aunt learnt this from one her friends and she is an expert in making sweet and savory paniyarams.
This version of recipe is using the left over idli batter and is called in Tamil as 'Pulicgamacu Panirayam'. I make this often as an evening snack for week end to finish off the leftover idli batter
