These little bites of sweet deliciousness are loved all over India. They are often made at parties, especially in the winter when it is cold outside. My version is lighter, not too sweet, crispy on the outside and soft within. The pancakes come together in less than 10 minutes, so are perfect for those of us in a hurry, or with last-minute friends arriving.
These would normally be glazed in a sticky syrup. I have added sugar to the batter so they don’t need it, but I do like the sheen, so I make some up and brush it over the top. They also work really well as a side to Classic Indian Rice Pudding or Saffron Yogurt Phirni. I serve them with vanilla, spiced or ginger ice cream, but they also make delicious breakfast pancakes with some fruit and Greek yogurt.
