5 Fluffy Khapli Wheat Flour

Pancake Recipes

That Scream Indulgence At Breakfast

When it comes to khapli pancakes, fans enjoy the nutty taste and healthier flour, while newbies worry about the fluffiness. But the right recipe can get you fluffy, nutty pancakes. Firstly, start with the right flour – a cup of Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta. Now, arrange other ingredients – 1 cup each of milk and yoghurt (the secret to fluffiness), jaggery or honey to taste, a tsp of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and butter to cook. You can add 1 egg to the mix for better structure and binding. 

Now that you’ve got your ingredients, begin by whisking together the milk, yoghurt, jaggery/honey, and egg (if using) in a large bowl until completely smooth. Then, sift in the Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta, baking powder, and salt. Gently mix until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or your pancakes will lose their fluffiness. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes. This is incredibly important to allow the ancient grain flour to absorb the liquids.

Once your batter is ready, it’s time to cook! Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with ghee or butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to dry (about 1-2 minutes). Flip and cook the other side for another 60-90 seconds until golden brown. This is the basic khapli wheat pancake recipe that you can customize with various additions to make the pancake you like. Here are five flavours to try for an indulgent breakfast. 

If you like things just a little dark, crunchy, and decadent, then try double dark chocolate pancakes with Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta. All you need to do is whisk cocoa powder into your batter and fold in rich, bold dark chocolate chips. If you don’t like dark chocolate, go for regular chocolate chips. And for a sweeter result, top the fresh pancakes with a warm, melted dark chocolate drizzle or a dollop of whipped cream. 

If you thought PB & J was just a sandwich combination, think again. Swirl soft peanut butter right into your khapli wheat pancake batter and cook. The sweet, nutty pancakes are great by themselves but turn altogether indulgent when topped with creamy, warm jam. Make sure the jam is gooey enough to spread over the pancakes. You can even go for a berry compote instead of a jam. 

Banana may appear like a simple addition, until you mix it with just a pinch of cinnamon to get that layered flavour. The overripe bananas also help with the fluffiness when using Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta! Just add ¾ cup of mashed overripe banana and ½ tsp of cinnamon when making your batter. Top the cooked pancakes with sliced bananas and maple syrup. This one’s a classic for a reason – it hits the spot in terms of taste, texture, and presentation!

Got a busy morning but don’t want to compromise on a delicious breakfast? It’s time to whip out the recipe for blueberry ricotta pancakes with khapli wheat. You can’t skip the egg in this one. It also adds ¾ cup of whole-milk ricotta cheese to the list of wet ingredients, while blueberries are mixed in the batter. For a slightly tangier taste, you can swap the milk with buttermilk. The ricotta keeps the batter moist, the blueberries burst into the mouth, and the whole thing is ready in under 30 minutes.

If you want to switch up the regular, golden brown pancakes for something with a little more colour, try the avocado pancakes. You can use them for sweet pancakes, topped with berries and honey. Or go for a savoury delight. Mix 1 cup of mashed avocado with 1 cup of Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta, 1 egg, ½ cup of milk, ½ tsp of baking soda and a pinch of salt. Cook the pancakes and top them with fried eggs and shaved Parmesan for a creamy, protein-rich breakfast. 

Since khapli is a gut-friendly, protein-rich grain, khapli wheat pancakes are a good way to sneak in the required nutrients in a delicious, familiar dish. When it comes to flavour variations, you can go for creative savoury combinations like spinach and feta, or try sweet delights like cinnamon-spiced apples, or even make your own combination. And if all the choices leave you confused, just start with a banana from the list and experiment as you go.
