kodo ko roti

Procedure:

First of all, mix water with the flour to make a pancake batter. Now, heat a non-stick pan on medium heat and make sure it is heated thoroughly to avoid the pancake from sticking to the pan as no grease shall be used. Then, slowly pour a cup full of batter into the pan and tilt the pan around so the batter is distributed around forming a round shape. Wait until the bubbles appear within the pancake and with the help of another spatula, check around the edges to see if the pancakes could be separated from the pan. If it does, then flip the pancake and let it cook for few more minutes. Your pancake is ready to serve.

It can be served with radish pickle or any other pickle if you want to follow the traditions, however, you could also serve it with jam. Moreover, you can also eat it alone without anything else. Also, you can add sugar or salt, depending upon your taste, while you make the batter ready.
