Kuzhipaniyaram-with-Broccoli

#KuzhipaniyaramWithBroccoli : #Broccoli belongs to a family called cruciferous vegetables and the family is scientifically called Brassicaceae family [ also called Cruciferae ]. Some of the cruciferous vegetables are cabbage, cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts and similar green leaf vegetables.
#Broccoli is rich in minerals, vitamins, fiber and low in calories.
It is tasteless and flavorless. It takes very less time to cook. So I included chopped broccoli with capsicum & spinach to prepare a healthy and tasty #kuzhipaniyaram.

Ingredients :
1 1/2 cup	Idli Batter [ Idli maavu ]
1 Tbsp	Rawa [ Sooji ]
1 Tsp	Gram dhal
1 Tsp	Black gram split
1	Onion, chop nicely
1/4 cup	Broccoli chopped nicely
1/4 cup	Capsicum chopped nicely
1/4 cup	Spinach chopped nicely
1 Tsp	Cumin seeds
1 Tsp	Crushed black pepper
1/2 Tsp	Salt [Adjust]
4 - 5 Tsp	Groundnut oil

Method :
Take Idli maavu [ Idli batter ] in a vessel just half an hour before starting to prepare broccoli kuzhi paniyaram.
Add rawa, gram dhal, split black gram and salt.
Mix well and set aside.

After half an hour heat kuzhipaniyarakal [ tawa ] on a stove over medium flame.
Add all chopped item, cumin seeds and freshly crushed pepper.
If required add little water to attain the idli batter consistency.
Mix well and adjust salt.

Pour a small amount of oil in each pit of the kuzhipaniyarakal.
Wait till oil starts fuming.
Then fill each pit with prepared broccoli kuzhipaniyara batter till three fourth height.
Sprinkle some oil over the kuzhipaniyaram.
Wait till the edges start turning slightly golden brown.
Flip each kuzhipaniyaram with a slender spoon or a steel rod.
Cook on slow flame till both sides turn golden brown in color.
Transfer into a serving bowl once its done.

Again repeat the same process to make another batch of kuzhipaniyaram.
