Paal Paniyaram - Chettinadu Special


We are completed more than half of our journey in A-Z series in Journey through the cuisine.For the letter P,I had several options such as paal,poli,paal kari,puliodhari but settled with paal paniyaram.

Paal paniyaram is a Chettinadu sweet delicacy in which a deep fried fritter is soaked in sweetened coconut milk.Itsprepared for most of the occasions for breakfast.

Since we like this sweet preparation a lot, mom used to make it frequently,especially after any special poojas.As the coconut and rice offered to God needs to be used in some sweet preparation.
Mom used the coconut milk for soaking the paniyarams but here I used both coconut milk and regular milk.Off to the recipe.......
