Dear Niya,
ReplyDeleteI recently stayed at The Taj Gateway at Cochin. I had a sweet pancake for breakfast. ( Sorry can not recollect the name). It was a small rolled plain pancake possibly made with a mix of whole wheat and refined flour.( like a mini paratha) It had a sweet brown coloured stuffing made of coconut, jaggery and possibly banana with a hint of cardamom. I had really loved it but can not find any recipe for it. The Chef told me it is prepared by House wives who cook for the hotel. Please help.
Hello Gulshan Kwatra, Thanks for query. Yes, I got it. I'm going to prepare that recipe tomorrow. It will be'' Kerala style whole wheat pan cakes with sweet jaggery filling. My mom / grandma used to make that recipe. That was a delicious after school snack.
