Spicy Aloo Pancake Recipe For Breakfast – It’s Crispy, Tasty And So Easy To Make

A delicious meal is all we need to start our day with. And, by a delicious meal we mean something flavourful and spicy, even for breakfast. The paratha-lover in us doesn’t give in easily to western-style sandwiches and cereal bowls. We may like the occasional serving of pancakes and French toast, but not always. But, if we get the same pancake with a desi spin, it is more than welcomed. This aloo pancake recipe is what we have in mind of a nice fusion food with our favourite potatoes.

Sweet pancakes get a desi makeover with this spicy aloo pancake. It is like a large aloo tikki fashioned into a more subtle treat for breakfast. Mashed boiled potatoes are mixed with onions and veggies like carrots and capsicum, and spiced with black pepper powder and red chilli flakes, all of which are turned into delectable pancakes. Sounds interesting? It really is. Check out the recipe below to make this stunningly unique morning dish.
