About the Recipe

Coastal cuisine of India loves the coconut. Be it Goan or Malwani, Karnatak, Tamilian or from Kerala, the taste of coconut reigns supreme. Think about a rich fish curry and try making it obliterate the coconut! It will pass off as a fake. Very correctly termed as the ‘plant of life,’ each and every part of the coconut plant is useful in one or the other way.

Ingredients

  • Coconut milk 1 cup

  • Jaggery (gur) grated 1/4 cup

  • Fresh coconut scraped 1 medium

  • Rice flour 1 1/2 cups

  • Oil 1 tbsp + 1

  • Pistachios chopped 2 tablespoons

  • Almonds chopped 2 tablespoons

  • Cashewnuts chopped 2 tablespoons

  • Raisins 2 tablespoons

  • Cinnamon powder a pinch

Preparation

Steps:


  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan, add pistachios, almonds, cashewnuts, raisins and sauté till light golden.

  2. Add coconut, cinnamon powder and jaggery, immediately switch off heat and mix well. Transfer the mixture into a bowl and keep aside.

  3. Mix together rice flour, coconut milk and enough water to make a thick batter. Rest the batter for 5-7 minutes.

  4. Heat a non-stick tawa. Spread 1 tsp oil with the help of a tissue paper and reserve the paper to use for other pancakes.

  5. Spread a ladleful of the pancake batter on the tawa. Drizzle a little oil on the sides. Cook till the underside becomes brown. Transfer onto a plate. Similarly make all the pancakes.

  6. Spread a little stuffing in the centre of each pancake and roll.

  7. Place the pancakes in the pan and heat turning sides till the jaggery melts.

  8. Transfer onto a serving plate and serve
