Posted by These mango and saffron pancakes will blow your mind. Saffron and mango flavors blend beautifully. I combine these flavors very often for dessert. However, this was the first time I tried it for breakfast.
The recipe is simple and results in soft fluffy pancakes. I served them with fresh mangoes and mango sauce on the side. Since weekdays are mostly porridge and toasts, I reserve the weekends for special breakfasts for my family.
I am making most of this mango season. Mangoes are the best thing about summers. We are lucky to find the best quality mangoes. We usually purchase Alphonso, Badami, and Totapuri varieties.
The buttermilk was made at home and made the pancakes fluffy. I do hope you make them for your family.
