Oil to prepare pancake over tawa

Take sugar, cardamom, maze, and nutmeg in a hand pounding vessel.
Make into a fine powder and keep aside.


Dissolve jaggery in 1/8 cup of hot water.
Keep on stove over slow flame for a minute.
Stir well with a ladle to dissolve it completely.
Strain through a tea filter to remove sand stones and other impurities.
Allow to cool down a little bit.

Take all the other ingredients except coconut in a wide mouthed vessel.
Now add lukewarm jaggery water and mix well with a ladle or using hand.
Make a tight dough.

Then add coconut scrap, gingelly oil and knead again well.

Take banana leaf or a clean plastic sheet.
Apply oil over it.
Keep a ball of prepared dough.
Spread evenly after greasing hand with oil and make a circular pancake.

Heat a tawa over medium flame.
Sprinkle oil and then slowly transfer pancake over to tawa.
Apply oil over the pancake also.
Cook well on both sides.

While flipping, the pancake may break as ragi flour is not sticky in nature and doesn't hold together.
Transfer on to a serving plate.

This can be stored in an air tight container for 2 days.
A very healthy and yummy pancake is ready.
