Chola Paniyaram is made with cholam(Sorghum), rice and urad dal. This is a healthy,  & tasty tiffin recipe. sorghum is a gluten-free  staple grain.The bran layers of pigmented sorghum varieties contain antioxidants that may help protect against cancer development.Consuming sorghum also boosts your nutrient intake. Jowar is rich in antioxidants.There are only three genetic colors in sorghum, white, red, or lemon-yellow.I used red sorghum.

      Other names for sorghum include durra, Egyptian millet, feterita, Guinea corn, jwari ज्वारी (Marathi), jowar, juwar, milo, maize, shallu, Sudan grass, cholam (Tamil), jola (Kannada), jonnalu (Telugu), gaoliang , great millet, kafir corn, dura, dari, mtama, and solam.(wikipedia).
