Vitumbua (coconut Rice Pancakes)

2 cups Rice (soaked overnight.)

1 can Coconut milk (400ml, 2 cups, 14 oz. should be warm to touch)

½ cup Sugar (can reduce or add sugar)

2 tbsp Coconut flakes (shredded coconut or desiccated coconut. optional)

1 tsp Yeast

½ tsp Cardamom powder (or nutmeg)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)

¼ cup oil (might not use all.)

Soak rice in water for 4 hours - overnight. Water should be above the rice.
Now drain water from the rice and transfer it into a blender.
Add the rest of the ingredients except the oil and yeast. Blend until smooth.
Now pour the blended mix into a bowl and add the yeast. Stir till well combined.
Cover and let it rest for about 40 minutes until bubbles are visible at the top.
Place pancake pan on medium heat. Using a brush, brush oil on the pan and let it heat up for about 1-3 minutes.
Pour the rice batter into each hole making sure it doesn't overflow.
Let it cook for 3 minutes. Using a chopstick, skewer, or spoon, flip sides carefully and cook again for another 2 minutes till fully cooked.
Remove the pancakes and continue the same process with the next batch.
Serve with tea, fruits, or syrup. I enjoyed mine with some mangoes, strawberries, and honey.
