Hidden Greens

Tanishk doesn't eat vegetables so I have to hide them in his food. So, I usually puree all the vegetables and mix them in dough / batter / cakes etc. In this recipe, I have pureed collard greens and carrots, and used it to make pancakes. They were very yummy and he couldn't guess that there are vegetables hidden inside.
