Coconut Jaggery Pancakes
These pancakes have been on the menu since day one and remains one the most requested recipes at Pondicheri. They are inspired by the ‘malpua’ a sweet rice flour pancake deep fried in ghee. While these are pan sautéed, they have a deeply flavorful richness and make for a lovely weekend brunch.
