Vellam Dosai||Healthy Delicious Jaggery Pancakes

Looking for a variation of pancakes that are not made of maida, not loaded with refined sugar?? You are in the right place. I have a super simple recipe of Healthy delicious jaggery pancakes.

Mostly made of leftover dosa batter, these are very common in our home growing up. You see, like a treat with the leftover ingredients.

But as I started cooking on my own I find the homemade dosa batter is a precious ingredient I cannot seem to bring it to a leftover stage. So I developed a recipe that is simple, gives the same taste and is healthy too.

How to make healthy delicious jaggery pancakes?!

This recipe is partly gluten-free. Yes, you need rice flour to make this recipe.

Partly gluten-free because the other half is whole wheat flour. Rice flour gives the crisp and body while whole wheat flour gives the pancake form and the texture. You have leftover dosa batter, use it in place of rice flour. It will give the texture the complex taste that is from the original recipe from my mom.

There are no refined sugar in this recipe. You need to have jaggery. Melt the jaggery in equal amount of water, filter the syrup. This light syrup[dark in color] is one of the wet ingredients. That’s right, we will be adding this syrup in place of milk or butter milk as we do in the regular pancakes.

Other ingredients include eggs which give the pancakes rise and acts as a raising agent. A large pinch of baking soda is also used in my recipe. But that is optional, you can skip it.

And the last important ingredient is grated or little chunks of coconut. Gives the pancakes the wonderful texture and great taste.

So all you need is to make a batter by mixing the ingredients and making the pancakes. Don’t forget or replace the ghee which is used to grease the pan and drizzled on the pancakes while cooking!! That is so important and makes all the difference.
