Evening snacks are mandatory in my home from childhood. My mom used to prepare snacks for evening before I reaches home from school. Amazingly, my brother also followed my own tradition of having Evening snacks. I prefer easy and simple sweet snacks along with tea or coffee. The snacks should also be made with minimum ingredients so that all the ladies in the kitchen does not spent their whole time in the kitchen. I am here with a recipe of loveletter or Elanji which is most common in Northern parts of Kerala. This recipe occupies a space in your kids tiffin box as well. Here scraped coconut is rolled in a crepe. Do try this snack and let me know who all are craving for it.
