The other day I bought a large bunch of Coriander Leaves. I knew I would struggle to use it up, because my family members hate Coriander. They say Coriander stinks and tastes like soap. They were not going to eat it, but I bought the large bunch because it was much cheaper than supermarket’s small packet. Today I used all leftover to make this savoury pancake. It was yummy. Even my son ate some to my surprise.
