Keerai Paniyaram Recipe | Keerai Kuzhi Paniyaram | Spinach Appe recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Keerai panniyaram is healthy appe made with left over idli dosa batter with the addition of greens. I always make paniyaram once in a week mostly with leftover idli dosa batter or rava paniyaram. To make kids eat veggies, I usually add different vegetable puree, stuffing or keerai to it.

I used amaranthus(arai keerai in tamil) finely minced for this recipe. You can use any type of greens. Its my turn to suggest theme for this week in FoodieMondaybloghop group. I suggested #253 MunchkinMeals any healthy recipes we make for kids. My contribution to the theme is healthy and delicious keerai paniyaram.
