Ask about cravings! My cravings for authentic pancakes started right from my childhood days whenever I see those in cookery shows, but never got to try one until last week ;) Yes, I found out an authentic French pancake counter at the Oasis Mall in Bangalore. It is an open counter, after placing the order, I eagerly waited to see how they made. Watching me standing over there, the cook said politely, "Ma'm, please have your seat, we will serve it at your table", shamelessly I continued to stand there with a smile. Before he could ask, I explained, "I just want to see how you make that thin pancake..." With a proud smile, he started making that yummy pancake and patiently clarified all my recipe queries after I promised that I have no plans to start a pancake shop... ;) And I post recipes only if I try and I tried it today...It's truly worth it, so give it a shot... :D
Ingredients
Maida /all purpose flour - 1 cup
Milk - 2 - 2.5 cups depending on the consistency
Nutella (Hazelnut cocoa spread) - as required, to spread
Method
- Mix maida and milk together until you get a smooth batter (meaning, lumps-free batter).
- Heat a non-stick tawa, when the tawa is hot, pour one spoonful of batter and spread it to make a thin paper dosa.
- Cook it on low flame for a few seconds (do not flip to the other side).
- Turn off the stove and spread Nutella evenly on the top of dosa.
- Fold it inwardly from all the four sides.
- Flip it to the other side and line the pancake with a knife or a spatula to form squares as shown in the picture.
- Transfer it to a plate and serve it with a dollop of fresh vanilla ice-cream.
looks yummy but spare me ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you were this quick!! We had tried this just 2 days ago and you seem to have made it, almost like how that guy had at the French pancake stall.
ReplyDelete@Sowmya: You should try it before you dislike ;)and I will ensure you will have it next time when you come home.
ReplyDelete@Priya: Yeah, it tasted almost the same. I didn' have chocolate sauce to pour on the top of pancake like how that guy did. So managed with nutella (I diluted nutella with milk to get that sauce consistency ;)) And thanks to you guys for giving me genuine feedback after trying my experiments during our lunch... ;)
