I remember when we were kids, we used to annoy our mom to make something yummy for evening snacks with tea, so she usually prepare this sweet pancake (in punjabi we call it meetha pooda) my mom used sugar in it, which is already shared in my blog, but this time I used to make it more healthy using jaggery in a pancake instead of white sugar and flavored with fresh cardamom powder.
Healthy benefits of Fresh Cardamom pods with Jaggery
Cardamom has a unique flavor and aroma that is hard to put into words. It is compellingly strong, yet delicate; sweet, yet powerful; with an almost eucalyptus freshness.
While Jaggery is a great remedy for anemia, asthma, joint pains and menstrual pains. It is a great energy booster as it provides us lots of energy !!
I love to eat my jaggery pancake with tea and I normally love to eat hot pancakes without any side dish but you can serve with any fruits.
Ingredients for the Jaggery Pancakes
Whole Wheat Flour (Since it is an instant recipe, no soaking or grinding is involved)
Jaggery (to be grated, melted and added with the flours)
Cardamom Powder or Eliachi powder for the flavour and aroma.
Desi Ghee – Roasting the pancake with ghee instead of oil, especially in winters for best results.
