Ingredients

• 1 cup of cooked White Rice
• ½ tsp – Red Chili Powder
• ¼ tsp – Turmeric Powder (haldi)
• ½ tsp – Cumin (Jeera) Powder
• 1/8 tsp – Carom seeds (Ajwain) (optional)
• ¼ tsp - Salt
• ½ tsp – Dry Mango Powder (Amchur Powder)
• 1 tbsp – Whole Wheat flour
• ½ tbsp – Bengal Gram flour (Besan or Chickpea Flour)
• 1 tbsp – Dry Coriander Leaves (Optional)
• Oil – as needed for drizzling and greasing the griddle.

Instructions

1. Take cooked rice in the mixing bowl. (If you don’t have cooked rice, then take about ¾ cup rice and cook as you normally do. Then let it cool down to room temperature).
2. Smash a bit with the spoon and then add the ingredients listed above. Give it a mix use your hand and knead it in a soft dough-like consistency. If it’s too dry, then add a couple tbsp of water or if it’s wet then add ¼ tbsp of Gram flour.
3. Taste the flavor and salt. Adjust the spiciness as per your taste.
4. Heat the tawa/griddle or if you have a mini Uttapam / Pancake griddle you can use it too.
5. Take ½ cup of water in the bowl to wet your fingers.
6. Lower the flame to low: Grease the pan with a few drops of oil, then take a small portion of the dough, place it on the tawa, wet your fingers, then press the dough with wet fingers in a round shape or any shape is fine. Keep it a bit thicker than paratha.
7. Add about ¼ tsp of oil to the pancake and let it cook on one side (until light brown). Then flip it and let it cook. You can make the rest of it. Because I make mini sizes. I can fit 3-4 on my Tawa.
8. Serve hot with Methia Masala / Sesame chutney.

Notes

Substitute: You can add ½ tbsp of vegan yogurt instead of Amchoor Powder. If you do so, you may need about ¼ tsp of extra whole wheat flour and besan flour to the recipe.

Personal note: This is a quick and fun recipe for kids. It’s also a light dinner and I prefer to have it with Vegan Kesar Milk or Vegan tea. It's a nice alternative for the thepla as well. I hope you like and share this recipe with your loved ones.
