Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated dudhi, yogurt, rava, wheat flour, rice flour, cumin seeds, roasted peanuts, salt, green chilies, ginger, and cilantro.
- Gradually add water until you have a thick, pourable batter. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the rava to absorb moisture and soften.
- Cook the Dhirde: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or ghee.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it gently to form a thin pancake.
- Drizzle a bit of oil or ghee around the edges and cook until golden and crispy on one side, then flip and cook the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
