Recipe
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, cardamom powder, milk, and water until smooth to form a pouring consistency batter.
2
Heat a non-stick griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with ghee.
3
Ladle a portion of the batter onto the center of the griddle and spread it outward to form a thin circle.
4
Cook until the edges start to lift and golden brown spots appear, then flip and cook the other side, adding a little ghee for crispness.
5
Repeat the process for the remaining batter and keep the cooked patande warm.
6
To prepare the Pahadi Chai, boil water in a saucepan with crushed cardamom, cinnamon, and tea leaves for 5 minutes.
7
Add milk and sugar, bring to a gentle boil, then strain into warm cups to serve alongside the patande.
