Mushroom Stuffed Paniyaram
I love paniyaram a lot and always wish to have varieties in it.When is saw this in Sangeetha's blog,i really loved it and wanted to try asap.So i made little changes to suite our taste and tried it with no delay. Me and my hubby loved it a lot.
Kindly adjust with the quality and lightening of the pics and i took in the night and more over some problem with my cam so few pics has turned blurred.
Ingredients :
For Batter :
5.Now add the mashed potatoes and saute well.
6.Finally add the tomato ketchup and saute for few mins till the ketchup is nicely coated.Now put off the fire and add the chopped the coriander leaves and mix well.Now take the paniyaram tawa and grease it with the oil and pour little dosa batter and keep the stuffing in the center
..
8.Now pour little batter over the stuffing and close with the lid and keep in low medium flame and cook.
9.Once the bottom side of the batter is cooked remove the lid and turn the paniyaram and cook opened.
Serve hot with any kind of chutneys.We had without the chutney as it was tasty with the stuffing itself.
Notes :
1.Since my paniyaram tawa is small so i was able to prepare only small paniyarams and slow it didn't turn out to be round.So if ur having a big tawa then will be able to get round shaped paniyarams and can keep more stuffing in it.
2.If we like we can add the lemon juice also.
3.Can add any veggies of our choice.
