Dadar

Dadar, Indonesian Coconut Pancakes

Category

Dadar was our favourite dish for a quick lunch on Bali. It's a green pancake with coconut filling often served with ice cream on the side. Apparently the recipe is an Indonesian take on European pancakes. The green colour comes from juices of pandanus leaves. I don't think it adds to the taste, it's just a colour.
