Method

• Wash and finely chop the vegetables (use any available to u ..i don't have cilantro so i used some chopped spring onion greens) and keep aside.

• sprinkle some salt,Cover it with a lid and cook for few minutes and lastly add some cilantro and mix well and remove from the stove.(no need to cook vegs completely..half done is enough)
• Vegetable Paniyaram
• And add the fried vegetables to the dosa batter and mix well.

• Heat a paniyaram pan,when it gets hot add few drop of oil/ghee in to each hole and pour a spoonful of batter to each hole.
• Then after few minutes turn them carefully to the other side and cook till turn crisp and light brown on both sides.

• Now vegetable paniyaram is ready and serve hot with coconut chutney n tiffin sambar.

Vegetable Oothappam

    My H doesn't like paniyaram...so i made this vegetable oothappam for him.I simply served with coconut chutney.(without tempering...i like this type of chutney for paniyaram...gives nice smell)

• Transfer the fried vegetables to a bowl and keep aside.

• Heat a tawa/griddle ,when its hot pour 2 ladle full of batter and spread in circular motion..make it thick like pan cake.
• Now sprinkle the fried vegetable all over the dosa and drizzle some oil in and around the dosa.
• Cook in medium heat and after 2 minutes flip the dosa carefully and cook for another minute and remove from the tawa.
• Enjoy the oothappam with chutney and sambar.

You can use any number of vegs of your choice n also try adding some greens like spinach/methi,if in hand.
