Upasache Ghavan

Upasache Ghavan

Ingredients:
1 cup Vari Tandul (Moraiyo / Samo)
1 cup Sabudana (Sago)
2 green chilies, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh grated coconut
2 tbsp roasted peanuts powder
½ tsp Cumin seeds
Salt to taste
Pure Ghee


Method:
1) Soak Sabudana and Vari Tandul together in water for around 4-5 hours. Keep water level 2 inch above Sabudana and Vari Tandul.
2) After 4-5 hours, grind sabudana and Vari Tandul by adding little water. Add chilies, cumin seeds, grated coconut, peanuts powder and salt to taste. Consistency of the batter should be medium thick.
3) Grease Non-stick tawa with 1 tsp Ghee. Turn the heat on medium. Pour 1 big spoonful batter and spread it in round shape on tawa just like pancake.
4) Drizzle little Ghee around edges of ghavan. Cover with lid for ½ minute. Let the one side cook. Turn the side, once first side is done properly and let the other side cook.

Note:
1) Ghavan could become mushy and soggy when you steam cook by covering the pan. It generally happens because of sticky sabudana. So try to cook it by covering pan for first ghavan. If it becomes soggy then don’t cover with lid, just cook both sides without covering the pan.
2) You can add chopped cilantro in the batter.
3) Adjust quantity of chilies according to your taste.
