4. Cook for about 2 minutes of till it is golden brown.
5. Turn and cook the other side the same way.

Serve hot with your choice of fillings and accompaniment such as tomato ketchup, jam, marmelade, chutney, vegetable curry, your favorite relish etc. I had it with coconut chutney and it tasted wonderful.

Tips:

The batter should not be too thin.

If you like softer pancakes, spread the batter in a thicker round.

For crisp pancakes, you can spread a little thinner circle.
