- In a large bowl, add gram flour, semolina, curd and form into a thick paste
- Now add water and vegetables along with the spices (chili powder, turmeric and salt)
- Make a thick paste (thickness should be something like that of honey) – not flowing on its own

- Take a flat pan and grease it with a few drops of oil and heat it over medium flame
- Once hot, spread 1 big table spoon of batter onto the pan and spread it by rotating the spoon in concentric circles
- Turn the flame hot and let it cook for about 60-90 seconds
- Turn it over and let it cook for another 60 seconds
- Repeat above steps to get a big pile of these savory pancakes for a full blown meal
Serve hot with ketchup or coriander/ tamarind chutney. Do try it out guys and let me know your feedback. Hope you like it.
