Chives are bulb-forming plants, and therefore their medicinal properties are similar to the medicinal properties of garlic, such as being antibacterial and having a positive effect on the vascular system. It’s very rich in vitamins A and C. chives serve as mildly flavored spice and therefore can be used as a main raw ingredient and also as a garnish. In the past, it was believed that bunches of dried chives would ward off diseases if hung around one’s person, but I think that these pancakes are enough to make you feel good.
Spring onions/ scallions are good substitute for chives
Ingredients for pancakes:
Butter - 8 oz. = about 225 gm
Cheddar cheese - 3 cups (grated)
Flour - 2 cups
Chives - 1/4 cup (sliced) / Spring onion
Salt - as needed
green chilies finely chopped to taste
Garlic - 1 clove (minced)
Rice puffs - 2 cups (optional)
Spicy chili sauce - as needed
Method of preparing the pancakes:
In a large bowl, mix the butter and cheese. Add flour, chives, salt,
chili sauce, and crushed garlic and mix until you reach a uniform
texture.
At this stage, you can mix in the rice puffs.
Divide the mixture into 4 pieces, roll each part to a length of 6''
(15 cm, wrap in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove the rolls from the
refrigerator and cut 1'' (3 cm) thick circles.
Place on a baking sheet in a baking pan 1'' (3 cm) apart from each
other.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges become crisp and the
patties turn a golden brown.
Tip:
These pancakes make a great side dish, but can also be served on their
own with some sour cream.
OR try in air-fryer, it you don't have either, don't fret, just simply shallow fry using minimum oil, by covering the pan to get the best results, or you can make like paniyarams in Appakarai.
