Besan Pancake

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 c besan
1/2 c atta flour
1 1/2 t fresh ginger root, minced
1 t roasted ground cumin
1 t roasted ground coriander powder
1 t roasted ground fenugreek seeds
1/4 t black pepper
1/4 t hing
1 T ghee
Chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 1/2 t salt
water
ghee for frying

PREPARATION:
Mix all ingredients together, except chaunce the hing in the tablespoon of ghee first before adding. 
Add water to make a fairly thin batter.
On a hot skillet with ghee, pour a little batter and spread a bit. Let cook on each side before offering to Krishna.


VARIATION:
Instead of atta, try using rice flour. And for simplified spicing use chopped green chili, some chopped fresh coriander leaves and some cumin seeds Everything else is optional, but don't forget salt.

There are a lot of variations that I try almost every time I get another recipe. Last week the one I tried had sesame seeds added which really made a better flavor. I'll have to post it in the future.
