Walnut Crepes

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

Method

Note: For vegan pancake, substitute the milk with soy milk or almond milk and oil for butter and 2 mashed bananas for the 4 eggs.
Skip the whipping cream.

For sugarless pancakes, omit the sugar in the batter and use stevia powder to dust the pancakes. Each brand of stevia has its own stevia for sugar substitution ratio provided on its packing.
Skip the whipping cream.

For gluten-free pancakes, use oat flour instead of maida.


Beans on Toast

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

Method

Note: Try using hot smoked paprika or Tabasco for an extra kick or add grated cheese or fried diced pancetta or chorizo for extra flavour.

To Indianise the recipe a tad, sprinkle a little chaat masala and chopped green dhania or coriander or cilantro.

If vegetarian or vegan or Jain, make sure you use a vegan Worcestershire sauce. Most Worcestershire sauces have anchovy in them. Also those on a Jain diet should use only the greens of the spring onions.

Opt for a gluten-free bread like a ragi loaf, if required.

If following a diabetic diet, skip the sugar and opt for a ragi loaf.

Most bread has higher sodium content. Opt to make your own bread using Preeti Shridhar's recipe for Foot-Long Loaf at home, but remember to skip the salt.
