Kolaveri pancakes

Yo boys. I am write recipe. Sssimple recipe. Super recipe!!

Kolaveri Di is a raging epidemic. It’s peppy, zingy, has a lovely beat and is easily hummable. It has the quality of all things great - Its simple!

I call it the phulka theory. We take phulkas for granted - try making them perfectly round and perfectly fluffed up each and every time and you’ll see what I mean! Simple doesn’t mean easy.

I am convinced that when we keep things simple and straightforward they go right to the heart - whether its simple songs or simple food!

Heres a recipe that’s great to work with in the coming festive season.

For the pancakes you need

Plain flour - 125gm

Salt – a pinch

Egg - 1 no lightly beaten

Milk – 300 ml

Oil – little to grease the pan

Mix the flour and salt into a bowl, make a well in the centre and pour the egg and a bit of the milk. Whisk the liquid gradually incorporating the flour to make a smooth paste. Whisk in the remaining milk and keep covered allowing it to rest for a bit.

Grease a non- stick pan and heat it well, pour in a measured quantity of the batter and quickly swirl it around the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes and then flip and cook the other side for half a minute or so. Slide the pancake out and make more with the remaining batter.

These pancakes are great to set you off on a culinary ride of your own. Once you’ve got them sussed out, you can use these for any savoury recipe or for mild desserts where you don’t want too sweet a flavour.Experiment with fillings like spinach and cheese, spiced corn, creamy mushroom, strawberries and cream, chocolate and walnuts. Take your shot at making a simple recipe a super hit blockbuster!
