Wanna perk up the taste of your regular paniyaram? Make this healthy carrot paniyaram and enjoy! Easy and tasty breakfast or snack in 15 minutes. Less oil, gluten free, vegan!
If you are looking for ways to sneak in veggies in kids diet, idli, paratha, paniyaram are excellent options. You can just make puree of the desired vegetable, mix to the batter or dough and you are good to go.
Adding vegetable puree increases the nutrition, takes care of the daily quota of the vegetable and makes the dish attractive. Another way is to add veggies to the chutneys. You can try carrot chutney, mixed veg chutney, zucchini chutney.
This carrot paniyaram is something I often make at home. With some carrots and leftover idi batter you can make healthy vitamin packed breakfast in 15 minutes. Instead of carrot yo can use beets, capsicum, tomatoes too.
You can use slightly sour batter for making this carrot paniyaram recipe. The sweetness of carrot will nicely offset the sourness of the batter. I have added shallots or pearl onions in this recipe and that elevates the color and taste very well. I have also used bell peppers for crunch and taste.
