I love Ragi and am always excited when I find a tasty, easy dish made with this. My daughter made this for breakfast the other morning and we really enjoyed them with a topping of ripe Banganapalli mangoes, pumpkin seeds and walnuts. It was healthy and tasty at the same time - all that HaldiKokam stands for. I am sharing her recipe here.
Try it - this is easy to make for breakfast or snack. Let me know what topping and changes you made to this recipe.
Ragi flour : 1 1/3 cup
Eggs: 2
Buttermilk : 1 1/4 cups
Baking Soda: 1/2 tsp
Baking powder : 1/2 tsp
Sugar : 2 tsp
Sugar : 2 tsp
Salt: 1 tsp
Butter : 2 tbs
Cinnamon powder : 1/2 tsp
Method:
Step 1: Beat the eggs till fluffy ( only whites if avoiding the yellow part)
Step 2: Beat in the rest of the ingredients and 1 tbs of butter to get a nice smooth batter.
Step 3: Add some butter to a hot pan.
Step 4: Pour some batter and spread it (slightly thick)
Step 5: It will fluff up a bit. Flip it over when slightly brown.
Step 6: Repeat steps 3 - 5 till the batter is over.
Step 7: Enjoy these healthy pancakes with toppings of your choice
Topping options:
- Chopped ripe mangoes, pumpkin seeds, walnuts
- Caramerised bananas ( add sugar to hot pan, add butter , add a little milk - stir, now add bananas)
- Honey
- Yoghurt and honey
- Maple Syrup
- Yoghurt and mixed fruits and nuts
Optional:
1. Instead of using eggs, I used to add stewed / cooked pureed red apples. The pancakes do not fluff up as much as these, however the apple puree add a lovely flavour to the pancake. I will post the variation the next time I make it.
2. Instead of sugar you can add honey or jaggery
