KIDS LUNCH BOX - PANIYARAM/ INDIAN EBELSKIVER !

Paniyaram/ Gunta ponganalu (Indian Ebelskiver) is both kids and adult favorite. There are different method of doing this. Some do it using dosa batter by adding onions, coriander leaves, chillies, seasonings, soaked channa dhal etc. Other than that this another version you can do SAVORY PANIYARAM / KARAM PANIYARAM.  But yesterday I made using dosa batter for savory version and for sweet made using CRACKED WHEAT/ SAMBA WHEAT RAWA (Version 1) and Jaggery. If batter is ready then you can pack lunch in no time... easy and delicious.
