Kitchenesia.com - Kue Serabi (rice flour pancake with coconut milk) is an adaptation of India/Sri Lanka's pancake appam. It is also popular in Singapore and Malaysia, but Indonesia's appam differs itself in additional flavors.

But today's recipe challenges the mainstream serabi by adding a sour flavor into it. Namely Kue Serabi Ceylon (rice flour pancake with jackfruit), this crispy munchie collides the sweet and sour in one bite. The verdict? Delicious indeed.
