#BlogchatterA2Z- “N”- Nutritious Multigrain Pancakes- A healthy and tasty recipe for your family!
This is week 3 of #BlogchatterA2Z and we had reached on alphabet “N”.
Before sharing, today’s recipe, I want to share an incidence that happened few days ago.
“It was a routine weekend, and we four went for a shopping to sprouts farmer market . As usual, I was telling to my husband and girls, please pick up healthy snacks, more fruits and veggies, and as usual thy were feeling annoyed with this every week’s healthy shopping obsession.
Suddenly my husband has picked a 7-grain mixed from grain section and said me, that we will make “7 grain soup”, (which he had watched on any YouTube video).
It was a pleasant surprise for me, because he rarely shows this kind of interest.
we had bought that 7-grain mixed, I forgot to use this after putting in my pantry.
Recently, when I was writing for this series, I had remembered that I need to use that 7 grain mixed which we had bought from sprouts.
And suddenly, a healthy recipe popped up in my mind.
I was thinking to write a moong dal or mixed dal pancakes recipe for this series, but after seeing that 7 grain mixed, I had planned to make a mixed grain pancake.
What is 7 grain mixed?
Basically, it is a collection of different grains and lentils like rajma, split chick peas ( chana dal), black eyes beans, green beans and others. Of course, it has a great nutritional value and great option for diabetic people. You can make so many great recipes with this mixture.

I had decided to make “Nutritious mixed grain pancakes” with this.

- Now, add dry spices one by one (red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder)
- Add salt and asafotida.
- Next add coriander leaves.
- Mixed all things properly and prepare a uniform batter.
- Now, heat the skillet and add the little oil.
- Spread the oil and now pour the batter evenly on skillet.
- When it gets golden brown from one side, turn it and shallow fry this from other side. When it gets roasted from both sides properly, take out this from skillet.
- Serve hot with catch up, chutney and with any other dip of your choice.

I had made this pancake long back but in that we use more lentils apart from rice. Spices are same but add saunf or aniseed to it. That gives a very nice flavour. Will try this version also
