METHOD

• In a bowl, add grated bottlegourd, besan and sooji and mix well.

 

 

• Bottlegourd has its own water so the mixture will get mixed.
• Now, add chopped green chillies and a little quantity of water and make a thick batter.

 

 

• Now, add more water to make a slightly thinner batter.

 

 

• Now, heat a tawa with 2 teaspoons of oil.
• Keep it on high flame.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the batter prepared on this hot oil.

 

• Now, drop 2 teaspoons of oil on the sides of this half cooked pancake so that it gets released from the bottom. Keep the flame high.
• When it appears to be cooked from the lower side, lower the flame slightly.
• Once when it releases from the bottom, turn it upside down.

 

• Now again put 1 teaspoon of oil on the sides and turn upside down.

• Keep turning it upside down till it is well cooked from both the sides.

• Take it off the flame.
• Bottlegourd pancakes are ready to serve.
