5 Best Pancakes to try on Shrove Tuesday in Mumbai
Don’t make your own, try these!
20 Feb, 2020 by Mini Ribeiro
Shrove Tuesday marks the last day before Lent, traditionally a period of abstinence, associated with clearing your cupboards of things like sugar, fat and eggs. It is known as Pancake Day because it represents a good opportunity to use such ingredients, in the form of pancakes. Fret not, if your frying pans are not ready and you can’t flip pancakes at home. Just step out and savour the ones that suit your palate. Your toughest decision that day will be choosing which ones to go for, as you will have several pancake options right here in Mumbai. Stacked up and lathered in coulis, with plump berries and oodles of cream or simply slathered with honey, you can have your pick. And yes, there are savoury ones too. My top 5 recommendations:
High Fibre Oatmeal Pancakes at Indigo Delicatessen, Andheri West, Western Suburbs
Last but not the least, these light and fluffy pancakes with a savoury tomato garlic chutney are mouth-watering and offer a good respite to the taste buds. The sweet and spicy flavours help you kick start your day with a bang.
