Batter

Ingredients

4

1 cup Rice flour

half cup Curd

2 inches Ginger

3 pieces Green chillies

quarter teaspoon Asafoetida

1 pinch Turmeric powder

Salt as per taste

2 tsp Oil

Fresh coriander as per needed

1 cup Water

5 pieces Banana leaves

Tips

Ensure the tawa is hot before placing the banana leaves to achieve a crisp texture.

Use fresh banana leaves for the best flavor and texture.

You can experiment with different chutney variations for added flavors.

Directions

Wash and dry the banana leaves. Cut them into squares according to the size of your tawa (griddle).

In a large bowl, combine rice flour, curd, ginger, green chillies, asafoetida, turmeric powder, salt, oil (if using), and chopped coriander. Gradually add water while whisking to achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be slightly runnier than dosa batter. Cover and let it sit.

Heat a tawa over high flame. Grease two banana leaf squares with a tiny amount of oil. Pour a ladle full of batter onto one leaf, then place the second leaf on top with the smooth side facing the batter.

Once the tawa is hot, place the banana leaf with batter on it. Press gently from the top. Cook on medium-high flame until the banana leaf turns slightly brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip and cook the other side similarly.

Carefully peel off the banana leaves. Serve the pankis hot with the chutney.

Notes

People with allergies to any of the ingredients or those on a strict low-sodium diet should avoid or adjust accordingly.
