Pea pancakes! If you are thinking it would be green colored then you are wrong because these pancakes are made with white peas instead of green peas. Normally people use green peas to make it but the taste of white pea pancakes are absolutely different. I did not find anything to hate this pancakes.
As I have mentioned in my earlier posts that pancakes are not something that I used to eat since my childhood but still I like this awesome food. And it often finds a place in my breakfast menu and also sometimes in evening snack menu. I never get bored with pancakes because there are so many options in this and a lot of scopes to do experiments to have something awesome for me.
Though I ate pancakes first time in 2014 but within last few years I have tasted a lot of pancakes and also did experiments to make best pancakes for me, I mean something that will be super delicious according to me. I also tried meat pancakes but I did not like that. So now I try to have only non-meat pancakes with or without eggs.
I also liked these pancakes: Easy cheesy veg pancakes, tasty mango bar (aamsatto/aam papad) pancakes, very delicious peanut and butter pancakes, homemade special pancakes with a lot of fruits
I made this awesome pancakes just before the day of Makar Sankranti. I knew that next day I will eat a lot of Indian cake (pithe) and rice pudding (payes), so I did not try enough pancakes as it is already topped with a lot of cheese & butter. So I ate only two white pea pancakes. Otherwise, I was ready to fill my stomach with some more pancakes.
