Ridge-gourd (Turai) Pan Cakes

It has been more than three months, n i didn't post any thing. three months before I had been to Kerala, got inspired with some food so wrote about it, I always wanted to write something new kind of recipe which is different n new for me n want to share with all.

Today is the 22nd Day of April 2011, I'm in Bangalore rain had already spoiled all the plans.....

Plans for going out for drive, have breakfast n on the way n explore new things, but rain has different plans for us..... We had breakfast at home & sat watching TV.....

For breakfast my sister had prepared something different, her own creation savory pan cakes from the vegetable which I don't like, Ridge-gourd (Turai), Ands it was very very tasty. I think most of the people also dint like it, but its good for health my mom n sis always tells me.... Try and use it in this way I bet u'll love it.... When my sister was preparing pan cakes I asked her, brother in law liked it & she said yes. That was assurance was sufficient for me to have this breakfast...............
