INDIAN PANCAKES


Indian pancakes A.K.A Gowla

These little wonders(yes they are wonders!) are fluffier than the regular pancakes/crepes and the ones I shared over here.

Ingredients
4 eggs
4 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons flour
200ml milk

Method
1. Lightly beat eggs.
2. Add the sugar, flour and milk. Whisk together.
3. Heat a frying pan, spray with spray&cook.
4. Pour some batter and fry on medium. Once the pancake starts pulling from the sides, turn over and fry on low until golden.



Makes 10 perfect pancakes.

Top them with nutella, chocolate mousse, fresh cream&strawberries, bananas, sugar&cinnamon or do it the Indian way by whipping up a cream mixture consisting of Nestlé cream, sugar and coconut. Put one pancake in a deep plate, cover with the cream mixture and top with another pancake. Continue layering ending with cream on top. Top with slivered almonds, cut into diamonds and refrigerate for an hour.

DIY FACIAL MASSAGE

Last week we discussed facial exercise; the benefits and what it entails. Have you tried it out?

This week we'll have a look at facial massage. To read about the benefits of facial massage refer back to this post.
Here are two quick and fun massage sequins to do daily.



When massaging remember to always massage in an up and outwards direction. The best massage medium would be an oil. Try a vitamin e oil, tissue oil or an olive oil.
