Notes:
Paniyaram is a dish which you should prepare on a day when you have enough time so that it comes out great because, it is to be cooked to perfection from start to finish on medium flame. 

You can make sweet paniyaram by adding strained jaggery syrup into the fermented batter along with scraped coconut and cardamom powder.

Jowar is a millet with high fiber content and protein.So, we essentially need to try substituting it with rice wherever possible so that kids will also starting liking it if we give them from early age. But, try not to over do it.

Here is the paniyaram squewer- just for your reference :

The leaf shaped edge helps to clear out the sides for flipping and the pointed edge is used to remove the paniyarams.
