Sorghum Millet Spinach Pancake

Cultural Context

Sorghum and millet are ancient grains that have been staples in various cultures, particularly in Africa and Asia, for centuries. In the U.S., they are gaining popularity as gluten-free alternatives in health-conscious cooking. These pancakes combine the nutritious benefits of these grains with spinach, making for a wholesome breakfast option that celebrates both tradition and modern dietary preferences. Today, variations of these pancakes can be found in health food cafes and are embraced by those seeking gluten-free or plant-based diets.

1

Wash 300 grams of spinach thoroughly and chop it finely.

2

Chop coriander leaves and add them to the bowl with spinach.

3

Finely chop one onion and add it to the mixture.

4

Add finely chopped carrot to the bowl.

5

If you don't have ginger-garlic paste, you can use chopped ginger and garlic.

6

Add a pinch of hing (asafoetida) and green chili according to your taste.

7

Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder and 1/2 teaspoon ajwain, crushing it slightly to release flavor.

8

Add 1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder and salt to taste, then mix everything well.

9

Add 1 cup jowar flour (sorghum flour) and 1/2 cup besan (gram flour) to the mixture and mix it together.

10

Gradually add 1/2 cup of water to achieve the right batter consistency, mixing well after each addition.

11

Let the batter rest for at least 2 hours.

12

After resting, check the batter consistency; it should not be too thick or too thin.

13

Heat a cast iron skillet and add ghee for cooking.

14

Pour the batter into the skillet, shaping it into a round pancake.

15

Cook one side for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip it to cook the other side.

16

Once both sides are cooked and golden brown, remove the pancake from the skillet.

17

For a twist, take one pancake, spread green chutney on it, and place cheese slices, chopped onion, chopped capsicum, and boiled sweet corn on top.

18

Fold the pancake to make a sandwich and grill it in a sandwich maker until golden brown.

19

Serve the sandwich with green chutney.
