An authentic Indian specialty cooked with freshly ground roasted spices, caramelised onions, and aromatic herbs in the traditional style.
Heat a little oil, pop the mustard seeds, and fry the urad dal until golden.
Fold the onion, green chilies, curry leaves, coconut, salt and the tempering into the batter.
Heat a paniyaram (appe) pan with a few drops of sesame oil in each mould.
Pour the batter into the moulds and cook covered on medium for 3 minutes, then flip each with a skewer and cook until golden and crusty outside, soft inside.
Serve hot with coconut chutney or onion chutney.
