POLISH POTATO PANCAKES

POTATO PANCAKES IS WELL-KNOWN BREAKFAST IN MOST PART OF THE EAST 

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. I GOT SIMPLE RECIPE OF POLISH POTATO PANCAKES, IT IS CALLED 'PLACKI KARTOFLANE.'

THE ORIGINAL RECIPE NEEDED EGGS, I SUBSTITUTED CHICK PEAS POWDER. ONE EGG IS EQUAL TO 1 TBSP CHICK PEAS POWDER.

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES

WHAT YOU NEED:

POTATOES - 2 BIG

ALL PURPOSE FLOUR/ MAIDA - 1 1/2 TBSP

CHICK PEAS FLOUR - 1 TBSP

MILK - 1/4 CUP

SALT - TO TASTE

PEPPER - 1 TSP, CRUSHED

CORIANDER LEAVES - 1 STALK, CHOPPED FINELY

HOW TO MAKE:

WASH POTATOES AND GRATE THEM.

CHOP ONION FINELY.

IN A VESSEL ADD FLOURS, GRATED POTATOES, CHOPPED ONION, MILK, BUTTER, SALT, CRUSHED PEPPER AND CORIANDER LEAVES. MIX THOROUGHLY. THE BATTER SHOULD BE THICK, BUT IN POURING CONDISTANCY. IF THE BATTER IS TOO THICK ADD LITTLE WATER.

KEEP THE BATTER ASIDE FOR HALF AN HOUR TO SET WELL, WITHOUT ANY LUMPS.

HEAT A FLAT TAVA. ADD ABOUT 4-5 TBSP OIL / BUTTER.  POUR A TBSP BATTER ON THE TAVA ABOUT 3-4 " DIAMETER AND 1/4 INCH THICK. 

ALLOW TO FRY WELL OVER MEDIUM HEAT. WHEN IT IS FRIED WELL FLIP THE OTHER SIDE AND FRY WELL.

THEY SERVE POTATO PANCAKES WITH APPLESAUCE OR ANY SOUR SAUCE.
