Masala Appams (Paniyaram) Recipe, How To Make Masala Paniyaram Recipe

Masala paniyaram or Appams or Kuzhi paniyaram is a south Indian famous snack. Masala Paniyaram is made by steaming batter traditionally made from pulse (specifically black lentils) and rice using a mould. The batter used is same as that for idle and dosa. Appams or kuzhi paniyaram can be made sweet or spicy.
I have made the masala paniyaram the spicy version adding onion, green chillies, coriander leaves, red chilly powder, grated fresh coconut, etc. The sweet appams or paniyaram is made adding grated coconut, coconut milk, jaggary or sugar etc, can read my blog for sweet paniyaram which I have shared. Masala
paniyaram can be prepared to carry during journey or long distance trips or traveling.
