Few weeks back, I made this Oats and Rava Paniyaram for breakfast. I generally make Rava and oats idli. That day, as I was preparing the batter for idli, I got this sudden idea of making it as paniyaram. Trusting my instincts, I went ahead and made them. Paniyaram came out with perfect texture, slightly crispy on the outside and melt in mouth centre and it tasted delicious. This is indeed a healthy, wholesome and a protein rich breakfast which can be made in a jiffy. It can also be served as a heathy evening snack.
My family really loved it and I hope that you all would like it too:)
