Recipe
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
2
Dissolve the jaggery powder in lukewarm milk or water until completely melted.
3
Gradually pour the sweet liquid into the dry flour mixture, whisking continuously to form a smooth, thick batter without lumps.
4
Heat a traditional cast-iron pan or griddle on medium heat and grease it generously with ghee.
5
Ladle a portion of the batter onto the hot griddle and spread it slightly to form a thick pancake.
6
Cook on medium-low heat until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges turn golden brown.
7
Flip the pancake and cook the other side, pressing gently and adding a little ghee around the edges.
8
Remove from the pan once both sides are evenly cooked and crisp on the outside.
9
Serve hot drizzled with generous amounts of honey.
