Alebele (Sweet spiced pancakes)
A typically Goanese dish made from pancakes, filled with a sweet coconut mixture. They're rolled up and served chilled from the fridge.
What you need
- for the batter
- 100 g plain flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 300 ml milk
- for the filling
- 60 ml black treacle
- 3 tsp water
- 50 g caster sugar
- 175 g desiccated coconut
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 6 tsp-60 ml ghee
- to decorate
- 2 tsp sifted icing sugar, for sprinkling
Method
Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt. Make a well in the centre. Beat together the egg and milk. Pour into the well, beating until all is incorporated and smooth. Leave to stand for 30 min.
Warm the treacle and water in a saucepan. Stir in the sugar, coconut and ginger. Set aside.
Melt enough ghee or butter to cover the bottom of a small non-stick frying or omelette pan. Spoon in enough batter to just cover the base, tipping out any excess.
Cook for 1-2 min until set and golden on the underneath. Flip over and cook for 1-2 min until golden on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter. Stack the pancakes on top of each other in between sheets of greaseproof paper.
Divide filling mixture between pancakes. Roll up like a Swiss roll. Chill well.
Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
Serving suggestion
Garnish with sprigs of fresh mint and lime wedges.
