Muttakuzhalappam or Coconut Pancake is a Kerala Christian delicay. It is an ancient traditional recipe. We all love to eat it at breakfast time. Kids will surely love to eat it as a snack!
What you need:
All purpose flour (maida) -2 cups
Eggs -2
Salt -to taste
Water
For the filling:
Grated coconut -2 cups
Cardamom powder -1 tsp
Sugar -5 tbsp
Method:
Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them well. Add some water and mix well. Add the flour and salt and mix with an egg beater to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thinner than the dosa consistency. Add more water if needed. In another bowl, mix together grated coconut, sugar and cardamom powder. Keep aside. Heat a non stick frying pan and smear some oil on it. Pour a large spoonful of batter and tilt the pan to make a thin round pancake. Keep on mediun flame. Fry lightly on both sides. Transfer the pancake on to a plate. While you make the next one, place a tablespoon of the coconut filling on one end of the pancake and roll it. Transfer it to a serving dish. Repeat the process with the rest of the batter. You can make 12 pancakes out of it.

wow!!! our kerala pancake…i had tasted once at my friends’s hse…looks delicious
Muttakkuzhalappam used to be my favourite evening snack after school and my mother’s too, coz of the ease of cooking…and I still love this, but i guess, even among keralites, this is not all that popular, as once I made it for some friends here and they were having it the first time, and that surprised me as this was a regular at our home, as evening snack.
Wow…raining pancakes in blogsphere. Looks fantastic. This is a new dish to me. Bookmarking it. Thanks for sharing this traditional delicacy.
Lissie this pancake was a regular thing for us kids after school. My mom made this atleast once a week. Used to hogg few of them after school. She also make them with Jaggery.
Now a days i make belgian pancakes with sugar, i will post it once.
they look so soft and beautiful…Can it be made without eggs?
I’ve tasted these at my neighbour’s house and love it. That aunty used to just fold it over instead of making it into a roll. Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Rose,
Welcome to my blog! I heard that in and around Kottayam, this pancake is known as Madakku-saan. Are you from Kottayam? In Kochi it is known as Muttakuzhalappam.
cheers,
Lissie
Hi Lissie,
This is my first time in ur site. You have done a fabulous job indeed. I’m from Kottayam. We call this diah Madakku-saan and my Mom uses milk instead of water. Do try it that way i’m sure u will love it.
