Hari says
Mooli is a long white radish also known as a Daikon. It's used in oriental cooking but also loved in Indian cuisine too. It has a nose tingling pungency and is great in salads as well as a filling in some stuffed breads. This got me thiking that the flavours would really work in a spicy pancake.
I think this dish is delicious becuase if, like me, you prefer savoury pancakes then this is a little bit different. It's nice and quick to make and the mooli gives a wonderful crunch to the soft pancake batter. Because I make it using atta or roti flour, it's almost like a bit of a cheat's version of Mooli Parantha. Like the Mooli Parantha, I have spiced it with cumin, chillies and garam masala but everthing is mixed into the batter and poured out as you would a pancake.

Ingredients
Method

50g roti flour (atta)
1 egg
150ml milk
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp melted ghee
50g mooli, shredded
1 green chilli chopped
½ tsp salt
1 tsp garam masala
½ tsp dried methi
½ tsp chilli powder
large pinch coriander leaves, chopped
red chilli, chopped (optional)

Method

Mix all the ingredients together in a jug, except the coriander.
Heat up your pancake pan and wipe with oil.
Take a ladle full of the mixture and pour on to the pan and rotate it around to fill the pan. Spread out the mooli. Leave to cook for 2-3 minutes. Once it has firmed up, use a spatula to turn the pancake over and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Place onto a plate and sprinkle with chopped coriander, and chopped chillies.

Served with

This is great with a spicy pickle and some yoghurt on the side!
