For the second day of stuffed dishes, I made nutella stuffed paniyaram. At first I had some plans of making dutch pancakes stuffed with nutella, but when I started preparing, I made these instant paniyaram. Any day I would prefer to use millet instead of maida and that is why I chose to do this. Few months back, I made a multi purpose millet flour which I have been using for dosas, paniyaram, idli and roti. I will share the recipe in a separate post, but let me also give the proportions here.
Because of this flour, I find it really easy to feed Sruti. As both hubby and myself are under low card diet, it became so tough to grind batter just for Sruti. Most of the time the remaining batter will become very sour even though I refrigerate it. But with this instant mix flour, I make the required quantity of batter and so no wastage. I had some home made nutella in the jar and so used it up to make these paniyarams. As usual Sruti loved these tiny treats a lot. Use ghee for roasting and the paniyarams will be so full of flavour.
Ingredients:
For The Paniyaram Batter:
Barnyard Millet / Kuthiravaali – 1/4 cup
Little Millet / Saamai – 1/4 cup
Pearl Millet / Kambu – 1/4 cup
Sorghum / Cholam – 1/4 cup
Urad Dal – 1/4 cup
For The Batter:
Sugar – 3 tbs
Salt – a pinch
Nutella as required
Icing Sugar For dusting
Procedure:
Take all the millet and urad dal and grind it to a fine powder. If taken in larger quantities, you can grind it in a flour mil.
Take one cup of the flour, add enough water to make a thick batter. Cover and let it ferment for 8 hours or overnight.
To the batter add sugar and salt and mix well.
Grease the paniyaram pan with ghee, add half a ladle of batter to a mould, add a teaspoon of nutella and top with more batter. Likewise fill all the moulds of thew pan.
Cover and cook until the bottom is golden.
Gently flip the paniyaram and let it cook on the other side too.
Dust with icing sugar and serve it hot out of the pan.

Those stuffed paniyarams surely sound fantastic. When you had said you made something special for Sruti I guessed it will be with Nutella, but never thought about the flour. That’s so healthy and a wonderful snack Gayathri!
Love the idea of the millet based instant flour. If I can source all the varieties of whole millet I will try to make it here. Nutella stuffing looks great but I guess you could stuff it with anything you like. Nice one!
This is one healthy and inviting paniyaram,as it is made with millet flour.Wish we could get the millet flour here soon..
Very innovative to make these Nutella stuffed paniyarams . These are healthy and must have tasted great with home made nutella. I am sure Shruti must have loved them .
Have tried nutella paniyaram long back for our evening snacks and loved it to the core. Can guess how addictive and dangerously delicious these paniyarams will be.
That is one clever idea to introduce millets for kids.. Cute paniyarams with that nutella stuffing and sugar dusting. My daughter never touches paniyaram and I have to see if I can lure her with Nutella.
Sruthi must have been so excited when you made this paniyaram for her. Love the mix of millets and I am going to give it a try. Is it easy to grind the millets at home?
Yes Sandhya, it is easy. But if you are skeptical, soak it and grind as if for idli batter.
That is a fantastic millet flour blend, Gayathri. I am definitely going to try this out.
Millet paniyaram with such an interesting Stuffing.. Great gayathri.. Would love to make some for my girls.
Wow nutella stuffed paniyaram, My son will love to gobble this down……beautiful
I already have all these flours except urad dal flour so can easily make it. this healthy snack is surely going to make my kids happy as it has their favorite nutella in it.

That’s such an innovative idea Gayathri! Will try making the millet flour…and the Nutella stuffing would be a dream come true for the daughter!
