Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, spreading it into a circle.

Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.

Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the other side.

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Serve hot with a drizzle of lemon juice and optional chutney.
