Kuzhi Paniyaram/ Kara Paniyaram and mint coconut chutney

Kuzhi Paniyaram is a traditional south indian dish. With the same batter we can make both sweet and kaara paniyaram and here i'm going to show how to do kaara paniyaram. When idly batter turn sours, we make dosa and even dosa batter stays for 2 more days then we can make paniyaram as a substitute for dosa as most of them get bored with eating same idly and dosa.
