Mini Egg Pancakes / Muttai Paniyaram is a soft spongy and delicious Paniyaram. It tastes great when served with chutney. These mini pancakes are best to be served as breakfast. It can be served as a snack as well. Addition of eggs gives nice porous texture to the paniyaram. The green chilli and ginger added gives nice twist to the pancakes. I served it with Coconut Roasted Gram Dal Chutney. Checkout other Paniyaram recipes available in this space.
