Taste is good, takes atleast 1.5 to 2 hours. Please check these recipe changes. 1. Is it 3/4 cup chopped boiled/not boiled spinach? 3/4 chopped spinach after boiling made only 1/4 cup spinach. 2.Salt needs to be added to vegetables and tomato gravy. Vegetables - please mention for how many minutes and heat setting they need to be cooked. 3.Baking time to be limited to 15 minutes so that cheese does not become too crispy. Better to avoid cream or add it after it is baked. 4. How many pancakes can we make in the above recipe? 5. Please mention maida and tomatoes in cup size rather than weight.
I had made this recipe for my friends they said the spinach pancakes were made very soft and it was a different combination of tomato gravy with vegetables..they loved it....
