Is that paniyaaram? I've never eaten or made it but it certainly looks delicious.

Don't feel shy. Just tell him and Doofy will drop whatever he's doing and rush to the kitchen to fulfill your wishes. And oh, if you fancy a foot rub while you dig into the paniyaaram, just say so.

Nah. Leftover idli batter with a tadka and cilantro, pan-fried in a cross between a frying pan and an idli stand.

with what?
btw, i think there should be some rule that you must post a pic of your dish not lift it off some site.
kuzhi paniyaram at Grand Sweets in Adyar is good. I do not like their side dish - do not know what it is - tasted and looked like a confused sambar. I had paniyarams once and only once because I made the mistake of watching them make it. big mistake - ignorance is bliss makes perfect sense in this context. each of those cavities in the thingie was half filled with oil - yes half filled. no wonder the paniyaram came out soft and delectable.
so i bought a non stick version of that thingie and make it at home with much much less oil.

wifey made chutney to go with gunpangulu..
we don't use too much oil for anything let alone making this.. no deep fried stuff at all.

more like extra fermented dosa batter. idli batter would work too but extra fermented dosa batter is preferred.
the reason i insist on this distinction is to emphasize the chronology in the life cycle of the dough.
fresh unfermented batter is used to make white dosa very soon after it has been ground. my uncle is a big white dosa fan and the reason it is called white dosa is that the dosa simply refuses to turn golden brown.
fermented batter is used to make idlis. first dibs goes to idlis because the batter that sits in the bottom of the container will not yield soft jasmine like idlis.
the remaining batter is good for dosas. basically dosas can be made with any quality of batter. idlis are more fussy.
a bit more fermentation, you can make utthapams and paniyarams.
if you have some dough left over after all this, you use this as a starter to quick start your next batch of batter.

What rubbish. AFAIK it's eaten all over South India. I know for sure it's a Mangalorean delicacy where it's called appe / paddu and also relished in North Karnataka.
I'm pretty sure, this - like dosas - originated from Mangalore and was imported into Thamizh-land by Jain monks.

You seem to be saying the same thing that I said. If idli batter = fermented dosa batter, then isn't leftover idli batter = "extra fermented dosa batter" = paniyaaram batter?
