Tweet

Ricotta Pancakes or Chenna pancakes are one of the most fluffiest of pancakes. If you love pancakes then Ricotta pancakes, Chenna pancakes are a must try as adding cheese makes the pancakes so much more fluffier.

Ricotta is nothing but Chenna, variety of Indian cottage cheese that we use in a lot of our desserts like Rosagulla, Champakali.

With all of us locked down, sleeping late, waking up at our own time, breakfast schedule has gotten a little messed up. Also breakfast is one meal that I don’t enjoy making. My mind just doesn’t work! Most of the time we end up having a glass of smoothie and have brunch directly. So weekends are the only days when we all sit together and have a proper breakfast and pancakes are always a weekend breakfast for us.

Whenever we make pancakes, my son loves having it in the bed. He loves the whole concept of breakfast in bed :). So today it was Ricotta Pancakes served with bananas, frozen blueberries and some freshly made strawberry jam.

*Chenna : Chenna is a softer variety of paneer. While making paneer, we usually squeeze out all the water and keep it pressed to remove any excess water. While making Chenna we let the moisture stay. This makes Chenna softer. Check out how to make Paneer at home.
