Corn Panki

Corn Panki

 This is a traditional Gujarati dish, a small corn pancake cooked in between banana leaves very healthy as it uses very little oil. The best part of this dish, it is very healthy and cooked with the aroma of fresh banana leaves which make this dish a divine. It is one of my favourite during monsoon season of the year.
