Jowar flour dhirde (ज्वारीच्या पीठाचे धिरडे)

My daughter is fussy about eating vegetables. I make dhirde with grated or finely chopped vegetables to ensure she eats her vegetables.  She enjoys Dhirde with ghee and sugar or with a cheese slice.


Ingredients:
1 cup Jowar flour (jwari)
1/2 cup gram flour (besan)
1/4 cup Raagi or nachni flour (optional)
1 tbsp of semolina
1/2 cup finely cut coriander leaves
1/2 cup curd
1 1/2 cup water
salt to taste
1 tsp chilli powder

Servings:
Makes about 5, sufficient for 2 people

Mix all the ingredients and mix well to break any lumps of flour. The batter has to be that of thick dosa consistency. Heat pan and apply little oil over the pan. Take a ladle full of batter and spread uniformly at the centre of the pan. Cover with lid. Turn the heat on medium. After about 1 minute or once the bottom side is brown and netted, flip to fry the other side. Cover again with lid. Once both sides are fried properly, take dhirde off the heat.

Serve with any chutney of your choice. Dhirde are super easy to make and are usually made as breakfast recipe.

Note:
Any vegetable of your choice or a combination of vegetables like beetroot and carrot can be added to the batter.
