Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Semolina sooji | rava
  • ¼ cup All Purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 to 2 cups Warm Water

Instructions
 

  • Take sooji, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt. yast in a blender jar. Add in warm water and grind for few seconds till combined. The batter has to be not too thick or thin.
  • Pour the batter in a bowl. Cover and let them rest for 15 mins. Now the batter must have got lots of bubbles.
  • Now lets cook the pancakes. Heat a nonstick small frying pan. Apply oil over the nonstick pan using a paper towel. Pour a ladleful of batter and swirl it gently. Cook this on low heat till lots of bubbles are formed and the top looks cooked and dry.
  • Remove the pancakes using a spatula onto a plate. Repeat the process till all the batter is done. Serve warm with honey or curries.

Notes

Tips & Tricks

  • If the bubbles don't form properly, the batter was probably too thick, or it has risen too long and bubbled too much. Try thinning it by stirring in an additional tablespoon or two of water. Leave the batter to rest for an additional 10 minutes before using.
  • Nonstick pan is preferred for cooking this pancakes. You can use large nonstick pan.
  • I used sooji, if you have semolina you can use that too.

Storage

  • Leftover beghrir are best stored in freezer, with a small piece of plastic wrap or wax paper between each pancake.
  • Defrost the pancakes and warm it in oven or microwave before serving.

Serving

  • Beghrir are best served with a syrup made from butter and honey. Boil honey and butter till it gets hot. You can serve this syrup with beghrir.
  • You can serve beghrir with chicken curries or tagine too.
