Savoury bajra pancakes are a great breakfast option. Bajra, or pearl millets, is rich in minerals like magnesium and potassium. The baking soda will make your pancakes fluffy, so don’t skip it.
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup bajra flour
2 tablespoons sattu
2 tablespoons suji (rawa)
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon grated garlic
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chaat masala
1 tablespoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
1 green chilli, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon oil
METHOD
To a bowl, add the bajra flour, sattu, suji, ginger, garlic and all the dry masalas and mix well.
Now add the water to make a pancake-consistency batter. Add the chopped coriander leaves, green chilli, onion and tomato and mix well.
Heat a pan and smear it with some oil.
Now add the baking soda to the mixture and mix it well. It will bubble up.
Pour some batter on the pan and cover it. Cook it till it swells up and the underside is crisp and golden in colour.
Flip it and cook the second side too.
Serve with some chutney or cheese dip.
