Good Food Today: Paneer Stuffed Paniyaram

I am really glad that many of you shared your views about the latest technology and its effects on parents-kid relation which I had mentioned in my last post. As some of you have said it's a pity that these technology addictions among parents as well as kids are very common now and can be seen around us. I too agree the fact that some parents spend so much time in front of laptop or television or gadgets and they don't even spend any quality time with their kids. Hope such parents realize sometime that they are setting a bad example to kids. I thank all of you who gave your thoughts about the topic and it was nice to read them.

Today's recipe is stuffed Paniyaram with Paneer filling. Paniyarams are one of my favourites and I made it a little interesting by using some paneer filling. They are easy to make and taste very yummy. You can have them even without any dip or chutney as they are delicious by themselves. These make an excellent breakfast or snack. Hope you all will try this out. Check out the regular Paniyaram recipe here.
