The paniyarams were very crispy outside and very soft inside.
Notes:
The sweet level was perfect, if you want more sweet add 1-2 tblsp extra sugar. Do not add more water, let it be like a vada batter. Always fry in a medium low flame. If it is more watery, it will disintegrate after putting in oil. You can add little maida if it turns watery. You can add a small banana to the batter to make it more softer. Do not add more baking soda than the quantity mentioned.
