Lace Baratha

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 35 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/2 kg all-purpose flour (maida)
• 1/2 cup thick coconut milk
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons ghee
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• salt

Recipe

• 1 sieve the flour in a dish.
• 2 add coconut milk, eggs, sugar and salt to it.
• 3 mix well.
• 4 the mixture (batter) should be slightly thicker than that of ordinary pancake batter.
• 5 take a coconut shell (kernel).
• 6 make 3 small holes in it at the eyes of the shell.
• 7 if this is difficult for you, another alternative way is to take a thick disposable cup and make 4 small holes at the bottom just right to make the batter pass through.
• 8 heat a pan.
• 9 fill half the kernel with the batter.
• 10 take care to keep the kernel in a flat dish while tilling the batter so that the batter does not leak.
• 11 move your hands fast holding the kernel on top of the pan so that you make different designs resembling a lace.
• 12 make sure you work fast or else the batter will leave blotches on the pan.
• 13 mix oil with the ghee.
• 14 smear a little on top of the lace baratha.
• 15 there is no need to flip it over because since the batter is thin, it gets cooked in no time.
• 16 now fold it as you desire.
• 17 serve this baratha with chilli chicken or any vegetable curry.
