Masala Paniyaram

                                   Masala Paniyaram

                 Call it masala paniyaram or seeyam , what we call in chettinad cuisine  is simply delicious and very easy to make . It is like medhu vada where we make vada with only urad  whereas this masala paniyaram we make it with mix of raw rice and urad. We make it mostly on festive days like diwali etc . It is one of my favorite dish/snack.....mmmm

                    Shall we go to the recipe ...now....

Raw rice                      -------1/2 cup

Urad dhal                    ------- 1.2 cup
