Ingredients

1 tbsp urad dal (split black lentil) flour
1 tsp curds (dahi)
1 to 2 green chillies , finely chopped
1/4 cup green peas , coarsely ground
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)

  2. Cut the banana leaves into circles using a 75 mm. (3") diameter cookie cutter.
  3. Apply a little oil on one side of each banana leaf and keep aside.
  4. Put 2 tbsp of the batter on the greased side of a banana leaf and spread it evenly to make a thin layer.
  5. Cover with another banana leaf with the greased side over the batter.
  6. Cook on a non-stick pan or a tava (griddle) using oil till light brown spots appear on the leaves and the panki in between peels off the leaf easily.
  7. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 9 more pankis. Serve immediately.

Handy tips
  1. If you do not have a cookie cutter for cutting the banana leaves into circles, cut them in squares and proceed as per the recipe.

Variation:
  1. You can use grated paneer, cabbage, carrots instead of green peas for the above recipe.
