Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semolina Sooji rava
- 1 cup butter milk optional, replace it with water if not using
- 1.5 cups water
- ½ cup red bell pepper finely chopped
- ½ cup yellow bell pepper finely chopped
- ½ cup grated carrot
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup mint leaves finely chopped (optional)
- ½ tablespoon green chili paste adjust according to your taste or use ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ¼ teaspoon ginger and garlic paste
- Salt to taste
- Oil to cook pancakes
Instructions
- Take semolina, cumin seeds, green chili paste, ginger garlic paste, salt into a mixing bowl. Instead of green chili paste, you can use finely chopped green chili or jalapeno.
- Add buttermilk and water to it. Mix it very well and make sure it doesn’t have any lumps. Keep it aside for about 5 to 10 minutes. Semolina will absorb the water, and you can add more water if required.
- While the semolina mixture is resting, chop the veggies. You could use the food processor also. I find chopping veggies therapeutic and do it manually.
- Now add finely chopped veggies and stir them so that they get incorporated well.
- Heat a pan and apply a few drops of oil. Pour the ladleful of pancake batter onto the hot pan and spread it well. Spread it as much as you can. These will be a little thicker than crepes as we are adding a whole lot of veggies.
- You could cover the pan with a lid. Cook the pancake on medium flame.
- Once it starts browning from the edges, flip the semolina pancake and let the other side cook properly.
- Likewise, make these veggie pancakes with the remaining batter and enjoy them.
Notes
The mentioned quantity makes around 12 medium-sized pancakes.
