Muttakuzhalappam (Coconut Pancake)


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.

  • 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.
