BhavnaThis gluten free pancakes are the best and very quick and easy to make. I have actually few similar recipes where I just keep on chaining the flour like Jowar(Milo or sorghum), Bajra(Millte), Jav(Barley) can be used and add little bit of Besan(Chickpea) flour to combine with any of these flours. So for this recipe you can take 1 cup Jowar flour and 1/4 cup of Besan or adjust as per your preference. Then vegetables or greens can be added as per your liking.
Jowar Methi ki Roti is both tasteful and nutritious for everyone. With little variation, you can make roti out of it as well. If you want to make roti, knead dough instead of making batter and you can make rotis with only jowar flour. No need to add even besan(chickpea flour). I call this Dhebras savory healthy pancakes. Infact, making pancakes is much more easier than making rotis. To make Rotis, you will need rolling pin and board if you don’t know how to pat by hand. To make vegan version, omit dairy yogurt and add soy yogurt or simply leave out yogurt.
