Instructions
 

Prepare the Pithaud Pancakes

  • Whisk together yogurt, gram flour, ginger-garlic paste, kadai masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
  • Add water gradually until you achieve a smooth, slightly thick batter.
  • Heat ghee in a non-stick pan. Pour the batter into the pan to form small pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Set aside to cool.

Make the Masala Matar

  • Heat olive oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, chopped ginger, and green chilies; sauté until fragrant.
  • Stir in coriander powder and red chili powder. Add a little water and mix well.
  • Add salt and frozen peas. Cook until tender, then lightly mash with a potato masher. Stir in lemon juice.

Prepare the Apple Chutney

  • In a pan, combine chopped apples, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, salt, sugar, vinegar, and water. Simmer until apples soften and the mixture thickens into a chutney consistency. Stir in red chili powder.

Make the Kadhi Sauce

  • In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, gram flour, turmeric powder, salt, red chili powder, and ginger-garlic paste.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan. Add curry leaves and mustard seeds; sauté until the mustard seeds splutter.
  • Pour in the yogurt mixture and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Assemble and Serve

  • Layer masala matar on a serving plate. Top with a pithaud pancake, more masala matar, and another pithaud pancake.
  • Spoon apple chutney over the pancakes. Drizzle kadhi sauce generously over the top.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs and a sprinkle of kadai masala. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Pithaud Pancakes

  • For extra flavor in your pithaud pancakes, consider adding a pinch of asafoetida (hing).
  • If your batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pithaud pancakes; cook them in batches to ensure even browning.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder in all components to control the level of spiciness according to your preference.
