SAVOURY PANCAKE ROLL-UPS

-

Pancakes in the sweet form are a common and staple breakfast food loved and enjoyed by all, but this savoury twist to it gives it another dimension that is also perfectly satisfying. Savoury pancakes are great as a side dish or can also evolve into decadent mains. Another satisfying factor about these little delights is that you can make the batter the night before and whip them up the next morning with super mom flair, and they do indeed make a welcome addition in everyone's lunchbox, even Dads! Comforting and welcoming, this dish indeed does not intrude one's culinary senses but instead melds into them, allowing a most satisfying experience to be encountere­d. Give them a try you've got nothing to lose!

140g plain flour 2 eggs

25g butter 350 ml of milk Finely chopped onions and a few curry leaves Oil

METHOD

Make the pancakes as usual, but to the batter add in the extra chopped onions and curry leaves. You can even digress with some more Western herbs like parsley, dill etc, but we like to use the local delicacies available.
