Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except baking soda and oil into a large mixing bowl. At first add only 1¼ cups of water.

- Just before preparing the pancakes, add baking soda if you're using any and mix.
- Heat a frying pan, tawa, skillet over medium heat.
- Add a few drops of oil or ghee and let it become a bit hot.
- Add about ¼ -⅓ cup batter to the hot pan. Spread the batter out using a spatula or ladle. I usually make them about 5-6 inches in diameter.
- Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top if you want to.
- Lower the heat and cook the pancake on one side.
- Flip it over. Add a few drops of oil/ghee and cook the pancake till done.
- Repeat the above steps with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes with chutney, plain yogurt or a fresh salad. Can serve them with a potato curry too.
Notes
- Use bottle gourd(doodhi) instead of zucchini.
- Add other vegetables of your choice if you are not making them for fasting days.
- Can add ½ part buckwheat flour and ½ part rice flour to make it more palatable for kids.
- Some people don't consume baking soda on fasting days so omit it if that is the case.
