Pek-nga: Coconut Pancake

Pek-nga.. it's a term for a pancake-like dish filled with fresh grated coconut. Pek-nga is a well-known dish for almost every Malay household in northern part of Malaysia particularly in areas of Penang & Kedah. This dish for me actually- is often a routine at home especially when my mom has leftover fish curry. It's sort of a comfort food for me.. particularly in the morning and this would definately make a fullfilling evening snacks besides the usual menu- curry puffs & tea. Some may prefer to make them with a small amount of grated coconut. But - as for me.. i like it more..as it will make it crispy & creamy  :)
 
Ingredients:
1 egg ( gred B )
a few sprigs of spring onion (sliced thinly)
1 1/2 cup of flour
3/4 pack of full cream milk (200ml)
1 tbspn oil
salt
200gm fresh grated coconut


Method:
1. Combine flour, spring onion, salt, egg, milk & salt in a bowl. Mix well.


2. Put in grated coconut. Stir evenly.
3. Heat the pan and scoop the mixture with a ladle and level the pancake mix wth a spoon.

4. Cook each side till it is done.
5. Serve hot with fish head curry.
Bon Appetite. :)
