East Coconut Stuffed Pan Rolls Recipe
Pancakes are traditionally made by Catholics on Shrove Tuesday, a day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. Here in India, we make Elijam Coconut Pancakes even on normal days and we don’t wait for Pancake Tuesday to make them.
The East Indians Elijam filling is made of freshly scrapped coconut and sugar and by adding some dried fruits and nuts, while the Goans use jaggery in their pancakes. This Pancake is made o colorful batters, by using edible food colors. However, you can also keep it plain and simple. Flour, Eggs, and Water are the key ingredients that go into making this thin flowing batter. These colorful batters are poured by a ladle on a frying pan to make pancakes. These are later stuffed with coconut and dry fruits filling, rolled and served, while they are super soft.

250 gms Plain Flour / Maida.
1Egg.
A pinch of salt.
Water as needed.
