I’ll vouch for Dilraj’s recipes I I have ” eaten the pudding” – scrumptuous
Improvement on Bebinca (Maria has perfected this and I have yet to taste
a better one)
Make the batter 24 hrs before and let all the flavours permeate (in the
fridge). Then strain the next day. For baking use a copper bottomed
(thick bottomed) vessel for the Bebinca. First layer cook on stove on
low flame – no need of oven at all. This cooks the bottom then brown the
top in salamander/grill. this is the frst layer. Grease with ghee then
second layer. Now you only cook brown the top each time for each layer.
Important: Bebinca is a *layered* pancake and just like pancakes each
layer should be soft, not gooey soft but juicy soft in the centre but
well browned (caramelised)on top). This is important for taste as well
asd for presentation as then you get the clear demarkation of each
layer. Nothing worse than B that is a glutenous sludge with a caramel
toffey one colour – it just tastes like fat uncooked coconut pancake and
is a disgrace to my Goan and Mangalorean ancestors.
