Cucumber Pancakes

This is one simple and quick recipe that you can make in the morning hurry. There are people who cannot eat curd once it turns a bit sour, this recipe is helpful in such cases as the jaggery neutralises the sour taste.So you have left over curd and cucumber and the option of raita does not exist... Try this!!! Kids will love will, at least my son and sister does... :)

1. Mix 1 cup of rava and 2 cups of grated cucumber. It is okay to measure the grated cucumber along with the water from the cucumber.

2. Add 1/4 cup of curd and mix well.

3. Add 2 big spoons of jaggery and mix. You can either grate the jaggery and mix or break it evenly as per convenience.

4. Optionally you can also add chopped chilli as per taste.

5. Last of all, add salt and leave it for 5 mins.

6. After 5 mins, heat the tawa and spread the mixture evenly like dosa. Add ghee and turn when colour turns a bit darker brown so as to make sure that the rava is cooked. Cook on both sides and remove when both sides are evenly coloured.

7. Serve the pancake with spicy green chutney or if in a hurry with Tomato sauce. Refer the site for recipe of the green chutney.. :)
