#CA26 - This is a traditional home made Bengali dessert. In simple terms, they are pancakes / crepes made of rice flour-sooji-maida combo. It is stuffed traditionally with a filling of grated fresh coconut and khoya. However, in this recipe I added a filling of some crushed motichoor laddu. This is an instant version saving much of your time.
Besides motichoor laddu, You can make with any of your favorite sweets like kalakand, burfi, peda & halwa to name a few. They come out real delectable and something different from the traditional stuffing. In this way you can make good use of any leftover sweets.
