Sweet Paniyaram

Jump to Recipe    ||   Print Recipe

Sweet Kuzhi Paniyaram-A soft and delicious sweet Paniyaram, made with fermented idli dosa batter, jaggery, coconut and a dash of cardamom.

Recently I started making big batches of idli dosa batter to be used up for a few days and the remaining I am freezing to use later. So I had some idli dosa batter and wanted to try something sweet using it and that’s when I tried this sweet paniyaram.

My girls love the sweet paniyaram as evening tea time snack and just gobbled as many as they could. Funny thing is I did not even have to ask them to try, as soon they smelled the cooking batter they just love it.

I think I am now going to try these whenever making the idli dosa batter as it seems like a nice idea to use the leftover batter rather than always trying the regular kuzhi paniyaram or something else.

Being a north Indian, I find it really hard to get the perfect consistency of the idli dosa batter and my idlis seldom turn out good otherwise always a flop. Nevertheless, I keep trying every fortnight to make a perfect batter so can make some soft idlis and other South Indian delicacies with the same.

  1. Can guess how it will be hard for you to get prefect soft idlies. Keep on trying Sapana, am sure a day you will nail them prefectly. Sweet paniyaram looks absolutely alluring, even i can gobble few without any complaint.

    Sweet paniyaarams are always a huge hit with the kids. Between you don’t need to freeze the batter sapana. If you refrigerate after the fermentation, it stays good for up to one week. I am sure you would have read all the tips, go with the ratio of 4:1 ( 4 cups of idli rice and 1 cup of urad dal) Adding a handful of poha and 1 tsp of methi helps for soft idlis. Hope this helps.

    Making idli batter is an art and I am sure you will nail it. I remember those days when I used to struggle to get the right consistency. The sweet paniyaram made with idli batter looks awesome and it is sure to please kids. My daughter is also a great fan of sweet paniyaram.

    I’ve yet to make sweet paniyaram. I seem to forget when I have some batter left and just go ahead and make the savory version. Getting the batter consistency is difficult but I usually leave it thick rather than thin. With thick one can add water but if it becomes thin than that’s a problem.

    My kids love the savory paniyarams and I too make it with the left over batter. They are not fans of the sweet version.But planning to make this sometime so they can see the difference.
