This weekend I prepared these pancakes from a recipe shared by one of our sweet blogger friends Kanthiji she is a amazing blogger very enthusiastic n loves to share her thoughts n recipes. When I saw this recipe I was really surprised we could use bread to make a uthappam (pancake). But after trying them out they tasted soooo good n never felt I had used bread. Thanks to Kanthiji for sharing this recipe, do visit her blog for more wonderful recipes.
