Aadhu loves Dosai. Whenever I run out of regualr Idli/Dosai batter I quickly make these pancakes for her breakfast. It can be offered to toddlers as an evening snack too. I use a simple combination of ingredients for making the basic pancake batter. Along with that I add fruit purees just for additional flavor. Also A hates eating fruits directly 🙁 So I keep incorporating them in smoothies, cupcakes, pancakes believing in that theory “something is better than nothing” 😊
The below recipe yields around 6 medium sized pancakes. These are light and fluffy. You can also check out my simple Whole Wheat + Jaggery Dosai here.

Recipe Notes
-
Don't make the batter too runny. It will be difficult to flip
-
Controlling the temperature of your hob is really important. If its too hot the outer layer will get browned soon leaving a dense, under cooked inside
-
Coat the pan with butter everytime you make it. Since I used a non-stic Tawa, the pancakes didnt get stuck in the pan. If you are using CastIron pans season them accordingly before making a Pancake
-
If you are planning to add other fruit purees such as Banana or Apple ensure the pancakes are cooked for a slightly longer time
-
Instead of WholeWheat flour you can use Self Rising flour or All Purpose white flour too.
-
Add cinnamon powder is optional. If you dont have it substitute with Cardamom Powder
