bis folhi ( egg and tuna pancakes)

The first time I had these little pancakes was when one of my father's cousin's wife was visiting us. When I found out it was just eggs mixed with a little tuna and a hint of cumin, I knew I had to try it. Well, it wasn't as easy I thought because the first attempt ended up with too much tuna and too much lime juice. 

After a few failed attempts I finally nailed it with the addition of a little flour. I used a little moringa leaves just to have some vegetables in it and give a bit of colour to it.

You can make this as a whole large pancake rather than making small ones. 

But I quite like it in small mini size and its quite enjoyable with a cup of black tea for a late afternoon tea.
