VEGETABLE PANIYARAM

Paniyaram is one of my favorite dish.We need a special pan (paniyara kal) to make them.Its very famous in Salem, my native place.The pans made there, spl those out of stone are very famous. Paniyaram made in the stone pans are softer , crispy than those made out of nonstick or other metals.
