For The Pancakes
1/2 cup cornflour
1/2 cup plain flour (maida)
3/4 cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter or
a pinch of salt

To Be Mixed Into A Filling
3/4 cup fresh grated coconut
1/4 cup sugar

1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds (til)

Other Ingredients
oil for deep-frying

vanilla ice-cream

Method
For the pancakes

Mix the plain flour, cornflour, milk, salt and ½ cup of water. Mix well so that no lumps remain.
Grease a 125 mm. (5") diameter non-stick pan with the butter.
Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter, tilt the pan around quickly so that the batter coats the pan evenly.
When the sides start to peel off, turn the pancake around and cook the other side for 30 seconds.
Repeat for the remaining batter to make more pancakes, greasing the pan with butter when required.

How to proceed

Spoon 1 tablespoon of the filling on each pancake and fold. Seal the edges by applying a little of the pancake mixture as shown in the below.
Deep fry in hot oil till they are golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.
Serve immediately with vanilla ice-cream.
