Pancakes With Fruit Compote



Fruit compote is a cooked fruit dish made from fresh or dried fruits. Made at home from easily available and quality ingredients, compotes offer significant nutritional advantages as all fruits are a good source of vitamin C and fiber.
I like to make it often as a good amount of fruit can be used in it which otherwise would be lying in the fridge, waiting to be cut and eaten. So make it as kids will surely love it and you will also not regret as its very tasty and healthy too.

Ingredients -
For the pancakes -
Flour - 1 cup
Milk - 1 cup
Egg - 1
Sugar - 3 tbsp
Butter  - 2 tbsp


For the Fruit Compote


Apple - 1
Pear - 1
Peach ripe - 2
Pineapple cubed - 1/2 cup
Plum / Strawberries - 4
Orange juice of - 1 orange
Ginger grated - 1 tsp
Cinnamon crushed - 1/2 tsp

Sugar - 3 tbsp (can be increased depending on the sweetness of fruits)
Cream - 5 tbsp

Blueberries - few to garnish

Method -     
          
For compote -

1. Cut all the fruits in cube size and  put the apple, 
      pear, sugar and 4 tbsp of water in a pan.
2. Cover and simmer it on low flame until both are 
     tender.
3. Add the peach, pineapple, orange juice, ginger and 
    cinnamon and simmer it till all the fruits are tender.
4. In another small pan, put 2 tbsp of water and 1
     tbsp of sugar with  deseeded and cubed plums and
     cook it until tender.
5. If you are adding strawberries then cook it like 
     the plums to avoid the whole fruit compote taking 
      a pink colour. Use either of them. 


For Pancakes -

1. Mix the flour, milk, salt, sugar, egg to a smooth paste.
2. Heat a  non stick tawa and smear it with little butter.
3. Make pan cakes by pouring a ladle full of batter into
    the hot tawa.
4. Cook till done on both the sides. Make all repeating 
     the same process.

How to proceed -

1. Place a pancake in a serving plate and put the fruit 
    compote on it.
2. Garnish it liberally with cream and sprinkle blueberries
    over it and serve it as dessert.
3. Prepare all the pancake compote in the same manner.
4. The calory conscious could avoid the cream.
