a very brave attempt indeed!
((hugs))you guys are the best! Wah Wah Prachi,"maan gaye ustaad-you remember...WOW!" You know what, i have my collection right here with me in the US, in spite of all the luggage constraints..Plus hubby dearest got some stuff last time he visited India, and dada keeps couriering me stuff every now n' then-so yup, my collection is here with me:-)
Mansi, Thank you so much for your wishes! Yes, you can do a bit of variation if you are not satisfied with the consistency of the hung yogurt. You can add mashed potatoes or grated paneer to the yogurt after the water is drained out. But 30 minutes are more than enuff to get the moisture out.

It looks delicious, and it feels even more tempting after I read the recipe. I make sweet farmers cheese pancakes, now savory yogurt pancakes will be on my list of things. I won't be able to find all spices though. :(
I have a question: do you strain yogurt before mixing in other ingredients? Yogurt seems to be too watery for a pancake mixture. Or maybe you heat it on low heat to get something like farmers cheese?
Nadia, extremely sorry for the tardy reply. I have used hung curd for this recipe. If you have muslin cloth or any other kind of napkin-preferably thin cloth to strain the plain yogurt only to get the moisture and water out..you should be good! If you need any spices, please email me your mailing add @ kdinusa@gmail.com and I will be eager to send you the spices!

Thanks again for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment!
