Pre-Preparations
Clean, peel and cut two medium sized potatoes and boil them.
Grate the boiled potato pieces using a grater
I have used one full cup of boiled and grated potatoes
Mixing the ingredients
- Into a mixing bowl transfer the grated potatoes
- Add Semolina 3/4 cup
Put the grated potatoes and semolina in the mixing bowl.
Add salt as required
Pour in 3/4 cup of water
1/2 cup of thick yogurt
Combine the mixture
Add chopped coriander leaves 2 – 3 tablespoons
Cumin powder 1 teaspoon
Garlic powder 2 teaspoons
Black pepper powder or crushed 1 teaspoon
Mix all together
Add mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup
Give it a nice mix and leave it for 5 minutes
The consistency is a thick batter form. You may adjust a little bit by using some water to it.
Frying the pancakes
Heat a frying pan and apply butter or oil
Scoop out the batter with a large spatula or use a ice cream scooper to keep the amount same for all our pancakes.
As we see the sizes are same thus looks good when all cooked and served.
Pour the batter one by one into a frying pan 🍳
Press lightly on the top to flatten a little bit if required
Flip and turn within few minutes and continue cooking in low flame.
Cook 4 to 5 minutes in low flame or until turns golden brown in color. The more you cook these in low flame they get more stiff and crisp. So make sure to cook as long as you are comfortable with the texture. Hope this would help.
Flip and turn few times to get evenly cooked on both the sides.
As you can see in the images below how the color has changed thus changing the texture as well.
These are slightly crisp and cheesy and chewy.
Serving tips
Enjoy with any of your favorite sauce as a snack anytime or may be as your morning breakfast. Pack these up on your lunchbox and enjoy by slightly warming these up 🙂
