Alle Belle| Goan Coconut and Palm Jaggery Pancakes
Last Updated on
Alle Belle is a delicious sweetened Goan Pancake stuffed with of course coconut and jaggery. The jaggery used is palm jaggery, dark and highly nutritious.
This simple yet delicious dish is relished in Catholic families. Like most of the old favourites, this one is slowly disappearing. So I thought I will share it here.
Goan Coconut and Palm Jaggery Pancakes
In Goa, sweets are preferred with afternoon tea. After eating Alle Belle or allebelle with my tea I agree with the Goans.
palm jaggery
I bought the jaggery in the market and hubby was not happy. When he was fast asleep in the afternoon I made these. The aroma I will like to believe woke him up and he enjoyed the pancakes. Needless to say, he was very enthusiastic about pancakes and ate most of them without complaint.
I think it will work for regular jaggery too but you will not get the dark colour and the flavour will be a bit different.
The other Goan dishes that you may appreciate are

The main ingredients for the pancakes are Maida/APF, eggs, milk, salt and baking powder. You can add food colour too if you wish.
The main ingredients for the stuffing are freshly grated coconut, palm jaggery, salt.
