Rava kara kuzhi paniyaram
Instant Rava kuzhi paniyaram is an easy South indian breakfast recipe. This recipe using sooji | rava as the main ingredient. I saw this post in instagram long back and noted down the recipe. In that recipe, they used Instant MTR Rava idli mix. As i had posted rava idli already, i thought i will make my own batter instead of using the MTR rava idli mix. The paniyarams turned out crispy outside and soft inside. Check out my other South indian breakfast recipes too. this can be served for dinner or can be served as an evening snack | tiffin.

Onion 1
Mustard seeds 1/4 tsp
Channa dal 1/4 tsp
Urad dal 1/4 tsp
Red chili powder 1/2 tsp

Lemon juice 1/2 tsp
Eno fruit salt 3/4 tsp or baking soda 1/2 tsp

Method:
- In a pan add oil and add in the mustard seeds. When it starts spluttering add the urad dal, channa dal and curry leaves. Chop the onions finely.

- Add the rava to this and roast it in the hot pan. Allow this to completely cool.
- Add the yogurt to this and add little water and mix it to get the consistency of idli batter. Add lemon juice to this and mix well.
- If adding baking soda add it now and mix well and keep it aside.
- If adding eno salt, do not add now. Just keep the rava mixture aside for 10 minutes.
- Add the grated carrots to this and mix well.
- Add Eno salt and mix well. the batter will turn airy and loose after adding eno salt. The final batter should be in the consistency of idli batter. So after adding eno, if needed add little more water to get the right consistency.

Can I ferment instead of adding eno or baking soda?
This is an instant one,never tried the fermented one . But you can try
Nanna irukku Jeyashri!
I tried it came out super
Interesting recipe! Will try and let u know!
Usually whatever recipe I try from this blog is a hit. But this one simply would not bind. It soaked up too much oil, and was uncooked from the inside. The pictures look so lovely, but mine fell apart 🙁
Hi, thanks for the message. The reason may be eno salt may be added more. Also the rava may be roasted for a long time.
And one more reason is consistency of the batter may be thick.
Can we avoid eno salt in this ?
Nice recipe. Came out really good!
