Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Combine bajra flour, dill, salt, red chili powder, carom seeds, cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, asafoetida, chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, and yogurt in a large bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.

Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Bajra Pancakes:
- For extra flavor, toast the bajra flour in a dry pan before adding it to the batter.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more water; if it's too thin, add a little more flour.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pancakes; cook them in batches to ensure even browning.
