Ingredients

For The Pancakes
3 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp plain flour (maida)
2 tbsp low-fat milk
1 tsp melted low-fat butter
a pinch of salt
1 tsp oil for cooking

For The Stir-fried Mushrooms
2 tsp oil
2 tsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun)
1/2 cup sliced spring onions whites
3 cups sliced mushrooms (khumbh)
1/2 cup sliced spring onion greens
2 tsp soy sauce
salt to taste

Method
For the pancakes

Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl, add 2 tbsp of water and mix well to make a smooth batter (add 1 tbsp of water if required to make it of pouring consistency).
Divide the batter into 4 equal portions and keep aside.
Heat a non-stick pan, pour a portion of the batter and tilt the pan around quickly to make a 125 mm. (5") diameter thin circle.
Cook using ¼ tsp of oil till both sides turn brown in colour.
Repeat with the remaining batter to make 3 more pancakes and keep aside.

For the stir-fried mushrooms

Heat the oil in a non-stick kadhai or a wok, add the garlic and sauté on high flame for a minute.
Add the spring onion whites and sauté on a high flame for 2 to 3 more minutes. Sprinkle a little water to avoid the onions from burning.
Add the mushrooms and sauté on a high flame for 5 to 7, while stirring continuously till all the water evaporates.
Add the spring onion greens, soya sauce and salt and toss gently.
Divide it into 4 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

Place a pancake on a clean, dry surface and spread one portion of the stir-fried mushrooms in a row at one corner and roll it up tightly.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more stir-fried mushroom pancakes.
