Kuzhi Paniyaram with an Eggie twist

This is my first post in my cooking blog... and its something to do with eggs!!! Coz i love eggs to the core :)
Sorry Veggies.. I ll surely post something in veg next. My mom and granny makes yummy items out of egg... like dosa, varieties of omlette, breads, and anything out of egg. And this kuli paniyaram was my favourite. Chettinad is famous for kuli paniyarams, but i want to add a twist to it by doing it with eggs. People who crave for eggs will surely like it.. and it is a very easy recipe.
So.. lets get started.

Tools:

Eggs - 2 or 3
Onion (Finely chopped) - 1
Green Chillies (Chopped) - 1 or 2
Besan Flour (Kadalamavu) - 2 tablespoons
Turmeric Powder - A Pinch
Red Chilly Powder - A Pinch    (Optional)
Salt - As reqd.
Oil - As reqd. 

Coding:


Take a big bowl, break the eggs and pour it into it.
Add  the chopped onion, green chilly, besan flour, a pinch of turmeric powder and red chilli powder just to add spice.. and salt as required.
Beat it well with a spatula or an egg beater. the more you beat it, the more fluffy paniyarams you ll get.
Heat the Kuli Paniyaram pan.. (The kuli paniyaram pan is a special utensil for making paniyarams. These days you get non-stick pans which makes our job easy. you can see the pan in the photo below.)


I have used a non-stick pan here.. so i can reduce the oil i use for making paniyarams. Dieting factor ! If you do not have non-stick pan, you just have to use more oil, so that the paniyarams dont stick to the pan.
Pour oil in each paniyaram pit in the pan.. about 2 - 3 drops is sufficient for each one.
Then pour the batter we have prepared in each pit, filling to about 2/3rd of the pit. Mix the batter well before you pour into the pit. Keep the flame medium.
After 2 mins.. turn the paniyarams upside down with a spoon or karuthu, to cook both sides. Make sure the paniyarams are cooked inside before you take it out...by pricking them with a sharp edged spatula or spoon (Karuthu) else you might get the raw egg smell.
Take out the yummy fluffy paniyarams. You can eat them without any side dish or try it with tomato sauce..It is a good evening snack.. esp for kids :)
If you are left with the batter, you can also make a fluffy omlette out of it on a dosa tawa. Try different !! :)
