About Paniyaram

Paniyaram is a traditional South Indian dish made from fermented rice and urad dal batter, similar to the batter used for dosa and idli. Cooked in a special pan with round molds, these bite-sized delicacies can be sweet or savory, depending on added ingredients. Savory versions often include spices, chopped onions, chilies, and curry leaves, while sweet varieties may feature jaggery or coconut. Paniyaram is a nutritious option as it is typically steamed or cooked with minimal oil, preserving its natural protein and fiber content from the lentils and rice. Rich in gut-friendly probiotics due to fermentation, it's light and easy to digest. However, the nutritional profile can vary with added ingredients or excess oil. A versatile snack or breakfast item, Paniyaram pairs well with chutneys and provides wholesome energy while satisfying diverse taste preferences.
