Flaky,savoury scallion pancakes are very much famous here in Chinese restaurants,but somehow i never wanted to taste them there, coz they looks exactly like our maida parottas. This pan fried bread goes for simple preparation and they are really easy to make at home. As i choosed cooking with onions as this week's blogging marathon, i used scallions aka green spring onions for making this super delicious pancakes. In case if you dont have spring onions, you can used shallots also yellow or red onions for making this pancakes. So may use even garlic chives for making this pancakes, so the choice is yours to mix and match according to your tastebuds.Check out the other marathoners running this 20th edition of blogging marathon here.
