So when I came across Lindsay's recipe, I was excited to try. Like I said before, there has been no looking back since. Last night as Jobin was editing the video, Ian overheard it and quickly asked me with shining eyes what I was planning for breakfast tomorrow. I knew what he wanted by just looking into those eyes! So I told him I will let him make it and he did. He loves to help me in the kitchen and as he was mixing up the batter, he told me that he is learning all this so that he can make his own pancakes when he grows up!
I mean, that has been my secret motive in involving the kids with kitchen activities and it looks like it has been going in the right direction! Anyway, these pancakes were gobbled up in no time, as always. Like I have mentioned in the video, you can serve it with maple syrup & butter, honey, any fruit compotes or even our good old nadan 'paani'.

Yesterday while I was watching Food Network Ian came up to me asked me when will I come on 'real' TV. He really enjoys watching my videos on YouTube and gives me subtle hints once in a while when he feels like eating those things. We film it after the kids go to bed. So Ian is very excited to taste the food in the morning and see the video after it's edited. Zara came running to me last evening saying that she heard me in Appa's computer! The way she put it across was very funny! My video editing time is quite entertaining for us!
