Thinai Sweet Kuzhi Paniyaram
This is the second time I am trying millet paniyaram.The first time I tried a instant version, it became very hard so I didn't post it.After that I held back myself trying millet paniyaram itself but today morning I was craving to eat sweet paniyaram as I felt bored to eat dosa / idli so decided to make thinai / foxtail millet sweet paniyaram as I had seen the recipe in the millet cookbook my neighbour shared with me.I just modified the recipe a bit and to my surprise it came out good and that justifies the post today itself :) I had few leftover paniyarams which I just had for my lunch :) Yes I loved the texture and taste very much now lets get on to make thinai sweet paniyaram shall we?! :)
