Ingredients
Ragi flour – 1 cup
Jaggery powdered – 1/2 cup
Coconut grated – 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Ghee – 4 to 5 teaspoons
Directions
- Start by placing the ragi flour in a kadai, toasting it briefly for a few seconds until fragrant. Remove the kadai from the stove and set it aside.
- To the toasted flour, add cardamom powder and coconut gratings, mixing well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Next, in a separate bowl, combine jaggery with two cups of water and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture until it comes to a boil, and the jaggery has fully dissolved. Strain the jaggery water to remove any impurities.
- Slowly pour the jaggery water into the fried flour mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Place the mixture back on the stove and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. As the mixture begins to thicken into a dough-like consistency, add a touch of ghee, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the dough to a plate and allow it to cool to a manageable temperature.
- Once cooled, pinch off lemon-sized portions of dough and place each on a banana leaf or a clean plastic sheet. Using your fingers, gently flatten the dough into thin, even rounds.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place one of the flattened rounds onto the skillet, and pour a teaspoon of ghee around its edges.
- Cook each side for a few seconds until golden brown and slightly crisp. Be sure to monitor it closely to avoid overcooking.
- Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Your delicious ragi pancakes are now ready to be served, perhaps with a side of your favorite chutney or dipping sauce. Enjoy this nutritious and flavorful treat!
