Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  1. Prepare the Corn

    Take 1 cup of boiled sweet corn. Roughly crush half of it and keep the other half whole for an amazing texture in the pancake.

  2. Add Dry Ingredients

    To the corn, add 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 2 tbsp cornflour.

  3. Add Vegetables

    Add 2 tbsp finely chopped onion, 1 finely chopped green chili, 2 tbsp finely chopped capsicum, and fresh chopped coriander leaves to the mixture.

  4. Season the Mixture

    Add 1/2 tsp chili flakes, 1/2 tsp black pepper powder, and salt to taste for seasoning.

  5. Mix and Form Batter

    Mix all the ingredients well. Gradually add water to create a thick, spreadable batter. Ensure the batter is not too runny, as this will prevent the pancakes from becoming crispy.

  6. Add Baking Powder

    Finally, add 1/4 tsp baking powder and gently mix it into the batter.

  7. Heat and Grease Pan

    Heat a non-stick pan and grease it lightly with oil using a brush or spray.

  8. Cook the Pancake

    Pour one spoonful of batter onto the hot pan and spread it thinly into a pancake shape. Keep the edges slightly thinner for extra crispiness. Cook on medium flame until the bottom turns beautifully golden and crisp. You can spray a little oil around the edges.

  9. Flip and Cook Other Side

    Flip the pancake and cook the other side for about until it is also golden.

  10. Add Cheese and Fold

    Add grated mozzarella cheese to one half of the cooked pancake. Fold the pancake in half and gently press it with a spatula to help the cheese melt.

  11. Serve Hot

    Remove the crispy corn cheese pancake from the pan and serve hot with your favorite chutney.
