Gothumai paniyaram:

Paniyaram is south Indian traditional food served as tiffin or snack for evening.Trying varieties of paniyaram is a joy and wheat in the place of rice is preferably good for health. Yesterday I made this Gothumai paniyaram with red chilli chutney so yummy! It tasted awesome and irresistible.Very simple procedure no need to soak or grind for batter.Matches perfectly with chilli thuvayal.
