Sunayana’s Tips –

1. While making a batter ….never add all the water at once. This will make lumps and since , you have no idea about the consistency of batter….there is a big chance that you can add more water than required .So always start with a little amount of water and gradually increase as per your need .

2. If you calorie consious then use a good quality non-stick pan to make this pancake . You won't require even a single drizzle of oil .
