Gothambuada (wheat Pancakes)
In Malayalam we have a distinct term for snacks. It is called as 'naalu mani palaharam' which roughly translates as four o clock snack. Maybe the habit of having snacks for tea is such a mandate in Kerala that a whole new term was created for this purpose. Children who come from school, elders at home, people returning from office all prefer a light snack with tea and mostly these snacks are healthy as in they are steamed or cooked on a tawa but, never fried. This is one such easy naalu mani palaharam that even an eight year old could try. It is not over sweet and can be made with very few ingredients in one's kitchen.
