Alle Belle is a simple to make delicious Goan Treat that can be served with Tea or as a Dessert. This will be a hit with kids as the pancake tastes wonderful with the stuffing inside.
This easy pancake is stuffed with a mix made of coconut and palm jaggery. Since the recipe uses egg, I skipped it and used the regular All Purpose flour along with Baking Soda. Since on the day I made this, I was to make a Neivedyam for Ganapati Homan, I remembered yet another similar dish that's special for Ganesh Chaturthi. So I went ahead and made this. My colleagues loved it so much that they were upset about seeing only a sample of this.
If you are wondering why I am talking about Dosas/Pancakes, well we are starting the second Mega BM of the year, themed on A to Z Flatbreads and More.
Since I did the Mega BM on this space as well for April, I knew I had to do this time as well. In fact, my list was almost ready during April itself, though I started cooking only last week.
This Pancake uses Palm Jaggery / Karuppatti or Pana Vellam which is very healthy and we can easily replace refined sugar with this. I have used nattu Sakkari.
When Archana had posted this on her space, I knew I had to make it sometime and I was happy I could use it for my A to Z Dosa Varieties. If you are interested to know what's for A in Spice your Life, check out this post.
