Chef Sabyasachi Gorai's Chocolate Nougat is a smart way to use up leftover pancakes.
Quite unlike the classic white or dark candy bar covered in peanuts, this dessert combines chocolate with crunchy walnuts.
Chef Sabya, as he is called, is admired by the chef fraternity for his quick rise in the world of cooking. Chef Sanjeev Kapoor is glowing and poetic in his praise and says he is 'the chef who pours his heart into the cauldron and blends it in with the ingredients to present a work of art on your plate -- over and over, every time'.

While using this recipe, skip the bananas and replace the maida or all-purpose flour with gluten-free rice flour.
For vegan chocolate nougat, use vegan dark chocolate and make the rice flour pancakes without eggs like you would a dosa and with cashew butter instead of regular butter.
To reduce the sugar in this dessert, opt for 70 per cent dark chocolate and use stevia powder in the pancakes. Each brand of stevia has its own stevia for sugar substitution ratio provided on its packing.
