Paal paniyaram / Milk paddu

Paal paniyaram is the famous traditional sweet dish which is prepared mostly in Chettinad. It is very tasty and delicious sweet dish. This paal paniyaram is made with rice and urad dal batter with coconut milk. I am adding jaggery for sweet. We can add sugar instead of jaggery. If we add jaggery, the taste will be excellent. I am not adding badam or cashews to decorate this dish. If we want, we can add. For making paniyarams, the batter should be thick like idly or methu vada batte consistency. We can make it with our hand. I am using coconut shell to make paniyaram. Because of using coconut shells, the paniyaram will be equal shapes and it will be looking nice...
