Seafood Pancakes..

Pan cakes or in this case griddle cakes to most are honey dripping butter oozing mouthfuls of goodness. On the other hand with just a few modifications one can make a really interesting party dish which is savory and sinful and not to forget super easy to cook. Bringing to you a dish that I love cooking when ever I am making a nice meal for people who don't quite like the Indian food palette. Here goes ...

Pancake Batter

250 cream cheese

100ml milk

120 g Refined Flour (Maida)

2 eggs

Baking powder

Oil or butter for grilling

• Separate the eggs
• Whisk the cheese and egg yolk together till light and fluffy
• Whist the egg whites till light and fluffy forming soft peaks. Keep Aside
• Beat the milk into the batter removing any lumps
• Sift the flour and gently fold in the batter.
• Softly mix in the fluffy egg whites
• Add baking powder
• Grill them till golden 

Seafood Filling 

Shrimps ( peeled deveined ) 100g

Diced Basa 100g

Chopepd onion 2 nos 

chopped garlic 1 tbsp 

chopped chives  tbsp 

chopped celery 1 tbsp 

olive oil 2 tsp 

salt

pepper

sugar

• Heat the olive oil and saute the seafood and keep aside
• In the same pan add remaining ingredients and saute till they are all soft and change colour 
• add the seafood back and sprinkle some white wine and cook till the moisture is dried out 

Layer the pancakes with the sea food top with either a basic white sauce or a basic tomato sauce (pasta sauce ) if u like it tangy 

Tip: I never throw away celery leaves, as when soaked in water they get nice and bright and crunchy. They make a lovely garnish .
