Ingredients
Barnyard Millet
- 2 cup Barnyard Millet (bhagar or sama ke chawal)
- 2 cup Water (for soaking)
Instructions
- Soak the barnyard millet in water overnight. This softens the millet and makes it easier to blend.
- The next day, drain the soaked millet and blend it in a blender until a smooth batter forms. A high-speed blender works best.
- Add salt and a tablespoon of oil to the batter. If the batter seems too thick, add a little water at a time until it reaches a consistency similar to crepe batter. It should be pourable but not watery.
- Lightly grease a nonstick pan or griddle with oil and heat over medium heat. Spread the oil evenly with a spatula.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan, swirling it quickly to form a thin, round crepe.
- Cover the pan with a lid or plate for a few seconds to trap the heat and help the crepe cook evenly. This creates a light and fluffy texture.
- Once the edges of the crepe start to lift from the pan and the surface appears set, flip it carefully. Cook for another minute or two until lightly golden brown on the other side.
- Serve the crepes hot with your favorite chutney, such as coconut chutney.

Expert Tips
- For a crispier crepe, use a hot pan and cook for a shorter time on each side.
- Experiment with different fillings! Sweet or savory options work well in crepes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook crepes in batches for even browning.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
