Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Great Millet Flour also known as jowar or sorghum flour. if using whole grains, grind into a fine flour.
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cup Water for soaking, plus ½ - ¾ cup to adjust consistency. use warm water for faster soaking.
Cooking Oil
- 3-4 tbsp Oil vegetable oil or coconut oil for cooking and greasing the pan. use a neutral-flavored oil.
Instructions
Prepare the Jowar Batter
- Soak the great millet flour in 2 cups of warm water for at least 12 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flour to fully hydrate and creates a smoother batter.
Blend the Batter
- Drain the soaked millet and rinse it thoroughly. Transfer to a blender and blend until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. Add more water, a little at a time, if necessary, to adjust consistency.
Season and Adjust Consistency
- Add salt and 1 tablespoon of oil to the batter. Mix well. Gradually add more water (up to ¾ cup) until you reach a consistency similar to thin pancake batter. It shouldn't be too thick or too thin.
Cook the Ghavan
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil using a paper towel or brush.
Pour and Cook
- Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot pan for each crepe. Immediately spread the batter into a thin, even circle using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Flip and Finish
- Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cover the pan for the first minute to steam the crepe. When the edges begin to lift, flip the crepe and cook the other side. Drizzle a little oil on both sides during cooking for added crispiness.
Serve
- Serve the Jowar Ghavan hot with your favorite chutney or curry. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Jowar Ghavan
- For a richer flavor, toast the great millet flour in a dry pan before soaking. Toast for a few minutes until lightly fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Don't over-blend the batter; a slightly textured batter can result in more flavorful and rustic crepes.
- Adjust the amount of water to achieve the desired consistency. Thinner batter will produce crispier ghavans; thicker batter will produce softer ones.
- If your crepes stick to the pan, try lightly oiling it before each crepe. Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the batter.
