Chettinad Egg Paniyaram | Mutta Appam (Step by Step Pics)

Have you thought of adding eggs to the kuzhi paniyaram to make it even more delicious? To be frank,I never thought about one neither had one unless I made these sometime back.This is a popular chettinad recipe.The best way to sneak in eggs to kids if you have kids like my little one who doesn't love eating eggs just like that but when sneaked in,it does work.This is another remake of your left out idli batter and makes a guilt free snack.I referred to the recipe here and believe me,it doesn't have any awful smell of egg too.Do give this a try if you have left over idli batter to make a less greasy snack !!
