For the Batter

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  1. Prepare the Batter Base

    In a large bowl, pour 1 cup of lukewarm water. Gradually add half a cup of all-purpose flour while continuously to create a thin, lump-free batter with a flowing consistency.

  2. Season the Batter

    To the batter, add salt to taste, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp red chili flakes, half tsp coriander powder, 1/3 tbsp cinnamon powder, 1 tsp cumin seeds, and a pinch of carom seeds. Mix all the spices into the batter thoroughly.

  3. Add Vegetables and Herbs

    Add 2 tbsp grated capsicum, 1 small sliced onion, 2 tbsp grated carrot, half a cup of chopped fresh coriander leaves, and 1 optional chopped red chili to the batter. Mix well to combine all the vegetables.

  4. Thicken with Gram Flour

    Add 1 tbsp of gram flour (besan) to the mixture and stir until it is well incorporated. This will help bind the batter. The batter is now ready for cooking.

  5. Cook the Pancake

    Heat a non-stick pan and grease it with oil using a brush. Pour a ladleful of the prepared batter onto the pan and spread it evenly to form a round pancake.

  6. Flip and Cook

    Cook on a medium-high flame until the bottom side is set and light brown. Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until it is also golden brown and cooked through.

  7. Roll, Cut, and Serve

    Once cooked on both sides, remove the pancake from the pan. Place it on a flat surface, roll it tightly, and then cut it into small, bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately with yogurt.
