Sooji Pancakes

Made a quick brunch today as I have to prep for Gowri Ganesha festivals. I have to make a ton of Kadubu/modak for me and my mum's house as well. 

It's a quick recipe, not gluten free but quick and easy. As my lovely neighbour reminded me  yesterday about my gluten free diet after I told her I was making pasta 🤣 I'll get back on track from next week after the festivals. It's really hard to go gluten free after so many years.  

I call it pancakes coz I don't know what to call it Sooji Cheela? Sooji Uttapam? I guess it depends how you see it.. North Indian or South Indian 😅

Any veggies and greens can be added. I had only 1carrot and 1kholrabi left in my fridge, so that's what I added. Spinach, Amaranthus or Dill leaves will be a great addition to this batter. I did add about 1/4cup of coriander after clicking pics. The batter was just too plain without greens in it. I made a quick green chutney with the Coriander scraps, Green Chillies and Ginger.

We had it with green chutney, tamarind dates chutney and kanji pickled veggies👌 I have a long day of Kadubu making ahead...
