kcalIngredients
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.
