Toor Dhal kuzhi Paniyaram

                                The credit of this simple yet tasty Paniyaram goes to the great chef, the late Jacob in his Chattu Puttu Samayal, which I happened to watch by chance.Toor Dhal, as mentioned by me several times, is always stocked in the fridge by most of the vegetarians.The same applies to Idli /Dosa Batter also.By mixing both, a crispy Paniyaram can be prepared.
