Yes, you read the video title right. Ancient India's Popular Snack was paniyaram, which made way for the ready to eat, ready to cook, packed snacks that are loaded with salt and other preservatives. Paniyaram is popular in South Indian states especially Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. 

Farm Food Factory presents one of the favourite South Indian breakfast and snack time recipes- Kuzhi Paniyaram, also called Paddu and Guliyappa and Gunta Ponganalu. 

This traditional Indian street food has a very long history. Paniyaram's recipe is as old as Idly. It is prepared using specially designed pans which have multiple moulds where the special batter is poured in. The idli batter we use to cook idlis and make dosas are mixed with chopped onions, green chillies, and coriander. It is tempered with mustard, urad dal and other ingredients to make the paniyaram. All the ingredients are mixed into the batter and then the paniyaram making starts. All the moulds are filled one by one with the batter and allowed to cook well on one side before the paniyarams are turned to cook on the other side. Cooking oil is sprinkled and if you like you can use ghee to grease the paniyaram pan.  

Majorly paniyaram batter is made using the leftover Idly and Dosa batter. Chopped onions, green chillies and the tempering element are what make this traditional Indian snack unique. Usually, paniyarams are had just by themselves without any accompaniments. However, this Indian Street Food can be served along with piping hot kurma, sambar or some chutneys. This masala paniyaram dominated the Indian snacks section for many decades before the entry of this ready to eat food and noodles.  

There are many varieties to Paniyaram. We have plain kuzhi Paniyaram, kara paniyaram (masala paniyaram), sweet paniyaram (inipu paniyaram), paal paniyaram, nei appam, banana paniyaram and the list goes on. There is also a rava version of Paniyaram called Rava Paniyaram.
