Paalaada / Velvety soft rice crepes- Softest Crepes ever!!!

Paalaada/ rice crepes is the softest crepe in the world!….If you love soft and smooth crepes ,nothing can be better than Paalaada. I can even live on these as I adore these crepes so much.Undoubtedly a great food, it is as soft as a velvet cloth.You can make out from the photo, Right?It is a common menu in all special functions in my home.

Paalaada is also an Ifthar special recipe.On this note, I would like share my Ifthar experience with my friends. During my   B TECH days, I had invited my circle of  friends for Ifthar. We were a gang of six members,(Mariam, Susan, Kunju, Gayathri, Mridula and myself) always staying together in college. I have already mentioned about Mariam in my post Chocolate cake.I still remember that day,they were so excited to come to my home.When they came, I was preparing Paalaada . Susan who didn’t even knew how to boil water 🙂 🙂 was so keen to prepare one .But her effort was expectedly futile:). We had so much fun together(for me ,staying together with dear ones will make my day happy). They stayed till night and it was one of the most memorable day with friends.Hey, forgot to tell you something. Susan now started cooking so much so that upon her request, I posted the recipe of CHICKEN BIRIYANI Let’s get into the recipe now…

Eggs makes it really soft maybe you can try adding paneer and then grinding or you can use yogurt although I haven’t tried either way
