Apple Pancake (Sugar-Free)

Posted on by

Apple Pancake is one among the most delicious breakfast recipes, but here I used powdered jaggery instead of Sugar. And so this could come under the Diabetic-Friendly recipe.

A very simple, easy, healthy, and a less time consumption breakfast. Not only for breakfast, this can also be served as tea-time snacks along with a cup of milk or coffee or tea. Let us move on to the recipe…

We tasted some of the food like, Burger – Burger was excellent, it had a bit crunchy texture due to the Dried peas in it, Pasta – Pasta was good, Cajun Potato – Cajun Potato was very good with the taste of spices and mayo, Deep Fried Oreo Biscuit with Chocolate Sauce and Ice cream – This was unbeatable, I and my kids loved it to the core and here the Oreo biscuits were deep fried and served with Ice cream and Chocolate sauce. The very first time I tried out such a delicious and yummy dessert.

The truck is available around 5:30 p.m till night.

The price was reasonable and the guys was friendly. I would say, “WORTH GOING AGAIN”. Wish them to spread their trucks all over the Bangalore. A Must Eat place in Kaggadaspura and thanks to Mr.Falguni for exploring this place.
