When I was thinking about what to prepare for breakfast the next day, I saw a fresh pack of whole moong bean in the kitchen. Usually, I do pesaruttu with whole moong bean for breakfast. Thought of doing something else this time, and my Tamilian roots thought about paniyaram. Previously I did kunukku with lentils and rice, this time wanted to skip the rice.
