- The first thing that you would need to make the cheesy vegetarian paniyaram is an appe pan. Making this dish on an appe pan will save time as you can make many paniyaram in one go.
- Next, take the peppercorns, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and ground them in a paste. Add this paste to the dosa batter and mix well.
- Heat some oil in the pan and add the mustard seeds. Once they start to crackle, add in the urad dal and sauté.
- Once the urad dal turns golden, add chopped onion and the green chilies in the pan. Saute the mixture till the onions turn translucent.
- Next, add the green peas and carrots to the pan along with salt. Keep cooking until the carrots are soft enough to eat.
- Pour the ingredients in the pan in the Idli batter along with grated cheese and mix well.
- Heat the pan and put a tsp of oil in each of the molds. You can also brush the oil in the molds if you want. It is important to cook the paniyarams on low to medium flame. Cooking at a high flame can easily burn the fritters.
- Now take a spoon and fill each of the molds with the idli batter. Cover the pan and let the batter on one side cook for at least 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully turn the
- Paniyaram to cook the other side evenly. Once both sides are evenly brown, take them out.
- Use a paper towel to soak away the excess oil.
The Cheesy Veg Paniyaram for breakfast is one of the easiest idli batter recipes to make. Enjoy it with sambar, coconut, or mint chutney.
