Recipe
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, jaggery powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
2
Gradually pour in the milk or water while whisking continuously to form a smooth, medium-thick batter without lumps.
3
Heat a traditional cast-iron griddle (tawa) over medium heat and grease it generously with a spoonful of Pahadi ghee.
4
Ladle a portion of the batter onto the center of the hot griddle and gently spread it outward to form a thick pancake.
5
Cook on medium-low heat until tiny bubbles appear on the surface and the underside turns golden brown.
6
Flip the pancake carefully, drizzle a little more ghee around the edges, and cook until both sides are evenly crisp and cooked through.
7
Transfer the warm aktori to a plate, drizzle generously with warm honey and remaining melted ghee, and serve immediately.
