For the first time I tasted this dish when we went to pillayar patti. I loved its taste and when i asked about this dish they told me its chettinad special.Later my Friend Anu gave me the recipe.And here is the recipe of one of favorite and easy to make sweet ....PAAL PANIYARAM

2)Add little salt and grind to smooth paste(like vada batter).

  1. You can add this tip bicks...

    Soak the fried balls for a minute in hot water and remove immediately, so that the balls dont become clumpsy.

  3. Yes what Anu says is correct. Even for Thayir vadai we need to first dip the fried vadas in hot water before adding to curd mixture.
