learn ho to cook crispy and tasty chettinad style kara kuzhi paniyaram. I am so fond of crispy paniyaram and this recipe is conceived from 4 trusted sources and with a lot of trials and a sure hit at the first trial. so, its a foolproof recipe.
some tips on getting a crispy paniyaram at home.
- adding rava makes it super crispy.
- learnt to add cut coconut pieces instead of shred coconut and trust me, thats soo tempting to taste slightly roasted coconut bits in between paniyaram.
- close and cook the paniyaram in medium heat (not simmer not on high) to get it half cooked before you turn side else either inner will be under cooked outer gets crispy or if you cook for longer to make it cooked inside, then it gets overcooked and gets hard than crispy
