Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine jowar flour, salt, and water. Whisk the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter for the best texture.
Step 2: Let the Batter Rest
Allow the batter to rest for about 30 minutes. This resting time helps the flour to hydrate properly, resulting in better crepes.
Step 3: Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up. You can lightly grease the pan with oil or butter for a non-stick surface.
Step 4: Cook the Crepes
Pour a ladleful of the batter into the center of the hot skillet. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown.
Step 5: Flip the Crepes
Using a spatula, gently flip the crepe and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it’s also golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
Step 6: Prepare the Mango Filling
Dice fresh mangoes into small pieces. You can mix them with sugar or honey according to your taste.
Step 7: Assemble the Crepes
Take a crepe and place a generous amount of diced mango filling in the center. Fold or roll the crepe and place it on a serving plate. Repeat for all crepes.
Step 8: Serve
Serve the jowar crepes warm, optionally garnished with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Notes
Note 1: Flour Consistency
Ensure that the jowar flour is finely ground for a smoother batter, which will yield better crepes.
Note 2: Resting Time
Do not skip the resting time for the batter; it significantly improves the texture of the crepes.
Note 3: Alternative Fillings
Feel free to experiment with other fillings such as berries, nut butter, or yogurt for variety.
Note 4: Cooking Temperature
Adjust the heat as needed while cooking to prevent the crepes from burning. Medium heat is usually optimal.
Note 5: Storage
Leftover crepes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Reheat gently before serving.
