Ingredients

• ¼ cup whole wheat flour

• ¼ cup besan (gram flour)

• 2 tbsp ragi (finger millet) flour

• 2 tbsp oats flour (or ground oats)

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)

• 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped

• 1 tsp cumin seeds

• 1 tsp grated ginger

• Salt to taste

• Water, as needed

• Oil or ghee for cooking

Directions

• In a bowl, mix all the flours, cumin seeds, salt, onion, green chili, coriander, and ginger.
• Gradually add water while stirring to make a smooth batter — not too thick or runny.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
• Pour a ladleful of batter and spread gently to form a thin pancake.
• Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook until the bottom turns golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until done.
• Serve hot with your favorite chutney or yogurt.

Notes

• Feel free to add grated vegetables like carrots or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Adjust the spices to your taste — a pinch of turmeric or chaat masala works great.
• Batter can be refrigerated for 1–2 days.
