Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup Buckwheat flour (Kuttu ka atta)
  • 1/2 cup Grated bottle gourd (lauki) or grated carrot
  • 2 tbsp Chopped coriander
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 no Green chilli, finely chopped optional
  • 1/2 tsp Rock salt (sendha namak) adjust to taste
  • 3/4 cup Water adjust for batter consistency
  • 1 tbsp Oil or ghee for cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Tawa or non-stick pan
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Add buckwheat flour, grated vegetable, coriander, cumin, green chilli and salt to a bowl.
  2. Pour water gradually and whisk into a smooth batter. Keep it slightly thick like dosa batter.
  3. Heat a tawa on medium flame. Grease lightly with oil or ghee.
  4. Pour a ladle of batter and spread gently into a round chilla.
  5. Cook until the base turns golden, then flip and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot with curd, green chutney, or fasting-friendly dips.

Notes

You can add grated potato or chopped spinach to enhance texture. Adjust water slowly because buckwheat flour absorbs liquid fast.
