Its a typical Tamil Nadu snack dish used to prepare with Dosa/Idli batter with some vegetable tinge.We can prepare this dish as evening snack for kids as a variety.If we have some left over batter or if we are fed up with dosa/idli for 2 days we can finish the batter by making this easy dish.For preparing this, we need unniappam chatti or paniyaram pan for making this  exact shape.I'm explaining pictorically for easy understanding.
