Mixed Millets Karapaniyaram / Millets Karapaniyaram / Siru Dhaniya Karapaniyaram

Milxed Millets Karapaniyaram / Siru Dhaniya Karapaniyaram is a tasty and spongy South Indian breakfast / snack variety.  Usually spicy paniyaram is prepared using rice and urad dhal mixture; instead I have tried using  four types of millets Samai - Little millet, Thinai - Foxtail millet, Kuthiraivali - Barnyard millet, Varagu - Kodo millet, Urad dhal with some seasonings to prepare this recipe.

The outcome was good;  try this and include in your daily routine for a healthy living!


I started to include millets in many of my recipes, especially breakfast (eg: Idly, dosa, pongal, paniyaram, etc.), avoiding or limiting the rice quantity after knowing about the health benefits of millets.

Thanks to my friend Lakshmi Krishnamoorthy from whom I learnt this.  Do check my other millet recipes!
