When it comes to anything approaching a dosa, I still need a lot of work. The flavour is there but making it all look really pretty is a real art form. That’s fine as I’ll keep practicing and will master it someday.
That said, the flavour is all there! Whether you use my dosa recipes or this gram flour pancake, you won’t be let down!
We love this spicy breakfast pancake. Sometime we serve it topped with fried egg or cheese but today I decided to serve it with the coriander raita I used in this recipe. This recipe works great as a lunch wrap by the way. Simply use the gram flour pancakes instead of tortillas and fill it with your favourite lunchtime filling.
Note: You may need to adjust the heat of your pan when making. If it is too hot, the batter becomes clumpy. Just reduce the heat a little and start again.
