Potato Pancakes | Lunch Box Special

Sometimes things doesn't happen as and how it was planned to be.But the same things, sometimes brings the best out of you. This is the story behind this potato pancakes.

This month has been one of the busiest months for me.I'm a person who goes by plan for my routine.
Two days back, it was a busy morning and aloo parantha ( potato filled roti) was the plan for my kiddo's lunch box and I was already boiling the potatoes.

Slowly the boy peaked in and said "Amma , Could you please make something special for my box ?"
There it started and whipped up things together and  there this potato pancake is born. To me , this is something similar to our aloo tiki but for him the cheese and little but with his favorite herbs made it special.

This makes a wonderful snack for kids party too and add little bit of chopped green chillies to pair with a cup of coffee ? tea for your cold evenings.
