Instant Cucumber Oats Crepe

Quick and instant foods are the ones I prefer when I rush to work. Sometimes it helps me on weekends as well for making breakfast/brunch. Innovative recipes are sometimes born from the leftovers available in the fridge. The same can be mentioned about fusion recipes too.

While I started making instant cucumber dosa from the available ingredients, it ended up as a crepe with loads of summer fruits. It took a quick transformation before I poured the first ladle of batter to make the crepe. I just made this recipe using the leftover ingredients from previous night’s dinner at home. But believe me, you can make the crepe (dosa) part alone anytime and I hope the batter ingredients easily available at every household.

Today’s recipe is savoury, instant fresh cucumber oats crepe with summer fruits stuffing. India cuisine blends with French here. 🙂 As I have added cucumber, it is good to have this dish during summer to cool our body. At this moment, I take a break to happily mention that this recipe of mine won the best, quick & easy healthy brunch recipe competition held across my office locations in India.
