Mini Rava Vegetable Pancakes: A Quick Snack
The Mini Rava Vegetable Pancake, also known as Sooji Cheela or Suji Vegetable Pancake, is a wonderfully sumptuous and easy snack perfect for times when you need a quick meal but don't have any pre-made batter or dough. This versatile recipe comes in handy for both breakfast and evening snacks. The concept is simple: create a quick-fix batter that requires no fermentation and can be cooked immediately, saving valuable time and effort in the kitchen.
The Simple, Instant Batter
The beauty of the Mini Rava Vegetable Pancakes lies in the simplicity of its batter. The foundation is made from 1/2 cup semolina (rava / sooji) and 3 tbsp curd (dahi), combined with approximately ¾ cup of water. All these ingredients are mixed well in a deep bowl to form a smooth, consistent batter. The curd not only adds a pleasant tang but also helps activate the semolina, giving the pancakes a soft texture once cooked. The lack of a fermentation requirement means you can go from mixing bowl to pan in minutes.
Packed with Colorful Vegetables
These pancakes are a great way to sneak in extra vegetables, making them both tasty and nutritious. The recipe calls for a vibrant mix of finely chopped and grated produce: 2 1/2 tbsp finely chopped onion, 2 1/2 tbsp finely chopped capsicum, and 2 1/2 tbsp grated carrot. Additionally, 3 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania) is added for freshness and aroma. This combination of vegetables ensures that each pancake is loaded with essential vitamins and fiber.
Flavoring and Preparation
The simple yet satisfying flavor of the pancakes is achieved through mild seasoning, ensuring they appeal to all palates. A touch of spice comes from 1/2 tsp green chilli paste, while 2 pinches sugar balance the overall taste. Salt to taste is added to complete the seasoning. To cook the pancakes, a mini uttapa pan is used. It is first lightly greased with oil. A spoonful of the batter is then poured into each mould to form a 75 mm. (3") diameter round—a perfect mini-size.
Cooking for Perfect Golden Crispies
Achieving the right texture is crucial for these pancakes. The rounds of batter are cooked on a medium flameusing a little oil until they turn a beautiful golden brown in colour from both sides. This ensures the semolina is fully cooked, providing a pleasant, slightly crisp exterior and a soft, spongy interior. The entire process is repeated with the remaining batter to yield around 7 more mini pancakes, making this a generous batch perfect for sharing.
Attractive and Ready to Serve
The final product, the Mini Sooji Vegetable Pancakes, is incredibly appealing, especially to kids, who will be eager to bite into the attractive rounds made using the specialized pan. This is perhaps the best part of the recipe. They should be served immediately while hot to enjoy the freshness and texture. The ideal accompaniment for these flavorful, veggie-packed pancakes is a zesty green chutney, which adds a final layer of tangy, fresh flavor, making the meal complete.
