To begin making the Healthy Ragi Kuzhi Paniyaram Recipe, in a small pan heat the oil, add the mustard seeds and curry leaves. Allow it to crackle. Add the chopped onions and saute until onions are tender.

Combine all the ingredients- fresh coconut, grated carrots, green chillies, curry leaves including the prepared onion mixture into the dosa batter.

Grease the paniyaram pan by adding half a teaspoon of oil into each of the cavities of the kuzhi paniyaram pan. Spoon the ragi dosa batter into the cavities of the pan. Place the pan on medium heat and cover with a lid.

After a 3 to 4 minutes of steaming, you will notice the tops of the paniyaram cooked and steamed.

At this point, turn over each paniyaram and allow it to cook the other side. This time around don't cover with a lid. Allow it to cook on medium low heat until the bottom is browned and crisp.

Once done, remove and arrange on serving trays. Proceed the same way with the remaining Kuzhi Paniyaram batter.
