🥣 Preparation Steps
1. Soak the Millets
Rinse 1 cup of pink millets (organic jowar) thoroughly. Soak them in enough water overnight or for at least 6–8 hours.
2. Blend the Batter
Drain the soaked millets and add them to a blender. Add a splash of water to help blend into a smooth, thick batter.

To the batter, mix in:
-
3 tsp jaggery powder (adjust to taste)
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
½ ripe banana (acts as both sweetener and binder)
Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
4. Cook the Pancakes
-
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan on medium. Lightly grease it with oil or ghee.
-
Pour a ladle of the batter and gently spread it into a round.
-
Let it cook until you see tiny holes forming on the surface – a sign it’s ready to flip.
-
Cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until golden.
