About Me

I always enjoyed collecting recipes but never quite liked the idea of cooking on a daily basis. However things changed when my daughter was born 9 years ago. I was very keen on introducing her to healthy, wholesome yet delicious food. Thus began my journey to hunt and create recipes that were kid friendly.Having a hotel management degree did come quite handy. This collection of recipes will have absolutely minimal use of refined ingredients. I am constantly experimenting to substitute 'white' and processed products with wholegrain. I hope you will join me in this endeavor to ensure that our kids eat 'Healthy'.

Vegetable Rice Cakes / Paniyaram



This recipe is a take on idlis and is called kuli paniyaram.Its simple to cook and is made from idli batter. There are many versions of these. I added some vegetables to the paniyarams to make it more healthy.
Paniyarams are made in a special pan which has small cavities to pour the batter as shown in the picture.
Its crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Kids love the texture and taste. 


Vegetable Rice Cakes / Paniyaram

 Idli Batter: 2 cups
Onion: 1 chopped
Carrot: 2 tbsp grated
Coriander Leaves: 1 tbsp chopped
Curry Leaves: a few
Green Chili: 1-2 chopped
Ginger: 1 small piece finely chopped (optional)
Salt to taste
Canola / Veg Oil

  • Add all the ingredients (except oil) to the idli batter and mix well. 
  • Heat the paniyaram pan and grease it well. Pour a few drops of oil in each cavity.
  • Pour in the idly batter and dribble a few more drops of oil on top.
  • When it is golden brown , flip it over with a skewer and cook the other side as well. 
  • Repeat the process with the remaining batter. 
  • Serve it with chutney or sambar or a dip.
