Muttai Paniyaram Recipe – Chettinad Egg Paniyaram

Updated on February 24, 2019

Muttai paniyaram or Chettinad Egg Paniyaram with step by step pictures. These savory muttai paniyarams make a perfect bite sized breakfast or snack that are made using idli or dosa batter.

These muttai kuzhi paniyarams are a breeze to make during the hectic mornings when we find ourselves running around like a headless chicken, multitasking and managing to do a million things in a short span of time.

Mine love them very much. Since my younger one’s school prohibits from sending over eggs to school, I make this muttai paniyaram and send it to school. It’s one of the easy to way to include eggs in a kid’s diet especially if they happen to hate eggs.

This also happen to be one of the recipe which got published in “The Complete Wellbeing” Magazine few months ago in which I shared few recipes featuring eggs.

I have given a very basic muttai paniyaram here, but you can also make a tempering like I have done in my Chettinad Kara Kuzhi Paniyaram and add it to the batter and continue to make this Muttai Paniyaram. It will also be equally good.

You can also use any leftover vegetable curry and use it to make a stuffed paniyaram like I have done in my Mushroom stuffed kuzhi paniyarams. Though it will take a little long time, it will be very healthy for the kids. Even kids who hate veggies will not say no to these stuffed paniyarams.

Paniyarams made using slightly sour idli batter will actually taste good than the fresh batter. The same applies to making Oothappam too. But then its my personal opinion and don’t let that stop you from making these muttai paniyarams.

Muttai Paniyaram – Chettinad Egg Paniyaram with Step by Step Photos:

Break open the eggs in a bowl and beat well. Add spice powders and beat well once again till frothy.

Add the idli or dosa batter and mix well. Prepare the paniyaram or appe pan and pour the batter till it reaches the rim.

Close with lid and cook for 2-3 mins and then gently turn over and let the other side cook for 1 min. Remove onto a plate. Muttai Paniyaram is ready to serve with any chutney.
