Healthy Pancakes (Indian) 5/5 (1)

Now time for Kitchen Secrets 😍

Don’t think of any strategies to sell your leftover rice 🍚🍚, I know how tough it is to make the family members to eat the leftover rice. Just change the rice and sell it as a new product. Curious to know the name of the new product….it’s Healthy Pancake aka Adai. What a transformation!!!😛 I converted leftover Turmeric rice into more healthier version by adding small millet flour and veggies. Let’s jump into the recipe…🥘

I had 3 cups of Turmeric Rice left. Run it dry in the blender and churn it.

Transfer this into a wide bowl.

Add half a cup of ragi flour.

Half a cup of rice flour.

And one cup of wheat flour.

Add a tsp of ginger garlic paste, a cup of finely chopped mix veggies( I used cabbage, carrot, beans). Then add required salt, a tbsp of red chilli powder, half a cup of finely chopped mint, coriander.

Mix well and roughly add a cup of water to knead into a soft dough.

Apply some oil to cover the dough, avoid drying.

Smear some oil on your hand, pinch some dough and roll into a ball (orange-sized) and flatten with your fingers on a greased plastic film (better to use banana leaf).

Then flip it on a hot pan.

Cook on both sides in medium flame, drizzle some oil to cook evenly.

Your healthy pancakes are ready!
