Description
There is no more joy than to get a recipe that had very less oil used and is a healthy one too. This is one such authentic recipe from Gujarat ” the mighty panki “. Made with simple home friendly ingredients, easy to make and high on taste with no high end cooking steps needed. They don’t need much skill or any special equipment to pull off. The spongy yellow mass of tangy, sweet and hot pancake with the flavour of the plantain leaf infused is just lip smacking good. This has become a regular at home on my breakfast table and to dazzle guests as well at times. A simple dish that’s home made isn’t always a crime on the table to entertain.
