• 1/2 cup ragi flour (finger millet flour)

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

• 1 large banana, mashed

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• a pinch of salt

METHOD

1. To begin making the Ragi Pancake Recipe, in a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. The batter should be of pouring consistency but should not be watery or even too thick. 

2. Heat a skillet greased with a little oil on medium heat. Once heated, pour a ladle or 1/4 cup of pancake batter on to the skillet.
