Finally, add baking soda and mix again just before you are ready to make the paniyarams.

Step 8

Heat an appe pan (paniyaram pan) on medium heat. Add a few drops of oil to each cavity.

Step 9

Pour a small amount of batter into each cavity, filling it about 3/4 full.

Step 10

Cover the pan with a lid and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.

Carefully flip each paniyaram using a spoon or skewer, add a few more drops of oil if needed, and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
