Blend all of the blintz ingredients together using a blender or electric hand mixer or a fork the batter should be lumpfree.
Grease the tava/skillet generously with cooking oil.
Heat up a non-stick tava/skillet until hot.
Pour the pancake batter using a ¼ cup into the pan.
Coat the base of the pan for this lift the pan off the flame. Tilt the pan in a circular motion quickly. Till the entire bottom of the pan is covered with teh batter.
Let the pancake cook. Will need about 1 minute. Once the edges of the blintz done flip the pancake and cook for 30 seconds.
Remove the pancake with a spatula and place it on a tea towel to cool.
Once cool you can stack them up on a plate.
Similarly cook all the blintzes.
Now make the filling:
Put all of the filling ingredients into a chutney bowl of the blender and pulse it. The filling should be well blended.
Let’s assemble the blintzes:
About 1 inch from theedge of the blintz add 1 tablespoon of filling.
Now fold the lower edge of the blintz covering up the filling, say about till the centre.
Now fold the sides of the blintz inward and make a long envelope.
Roll the blintz like you will roll up a burrito. Take care to fold the edges well.
Finish making all the rolls.
Fry:
Heat about ¼ cup of oil in a non-stick pan over medium until hot.
Fry the blintzes in batches. Take care and keep enough space to turn them easily in the pan. Gently lay the flapside down in the oil (take care the oil is hot).
The oil will sizzle after 1 ½ to 2 minutes flip carefully the blintzes. They will be brown and crispy.
Fry the flipped side again for a 1 ½ – 2 minutes till they are browned evenly.
Serve blintzes warm topped with fruit compote or whipped cream.
