  • 2 tbsp sugar

Coconut Filling:

  • 500 grams jaggery or brown sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • 750 grams freshly grated coconut

Instructions
 

Pancake:

  • Whisk together all the ingredients for the crepes until you have a smooth batter. Heat a small pan over low heat and pour in a spoonful of batter. Swirl the pan around to make a thin layer and allow to cook, once it's golden brown remove from heat and set aside to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Jaggery:

  • Add the jaggery/brown sugar, salt, and cardamom powder into a large pot. Once melted, add in the coconut and stir until combined. Set aside.

Assembly:

  • Take the prepared pancake and add around 2 tablespoons of the jaggery coconut. Fold the side and roll it shut, the pancake will seal by itself. Enjoy!
