How to make Sattu Pancake

Healthy Sattu Pancake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sattu (roasted gram flour)
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (optional for binding and texture)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder (optional)
• 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
• 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
• 1 cup water (adjust for batter consistency)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or any healthy oil (plus extra for cooking)
• Optional veggies: grated carrot, finely chopped spinach, or bell pepper

Instructions:

1. Make the batter:
   In a mixing bowl, combine sattu, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cumin powder, and salt.
   Add chopped onion, green chilies, coriander, and any optional veggies you like.
2. Add water and oil:
   Gradually add water while stirring to form a smooth, pourable batter—like regular pancake batter (not too thick or runny).
   Stir in the oil.
3. Cook pancakes:
   Heat a non-stick pan or griddle on medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil.
   Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread gently into a circle.
   Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.
4. Serve:
   Serve warm with green chutney, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey if you prefer a sweet touch.

Tips:

• For extra protein, you can add a spoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds to the batter.
• These pancakes are great savory, but you can also add a pinch of jaggery or a mashed ripe banana for a sweet version.
• If you want gluten-free, skip whole wheat flour and adjust water to get the right consistency.
