Paasipauppu Aval Paniyaram - Moongdhal Paniyaram

HI
I like to try new recipes particularly the savoury ones , and I had bookmarked this recipe  and  am very happy that i tried it out. The taste was awesome and the crispy texture on the outside and soft fluffiness inside was too good. As fermenting is not necessary, it is fast to cook and can be served with a chutney of your choice
