1/4 cup plain flour (maida)
1/4 cup low-fat milk , 99.7% fat-free
salt to taste

For The Spinach Stuffing

1/4 cup chopped onions
1 tsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun)
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
salt to taste
2 tbsp grated mozzrella cheese

Other Ingredients
oil for greasing and cooking

Method

For the batter

Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl with ½ cup water and mix well to make a smooth batter of dropping consistency. Keep aside.

For the stuffing

Heat the butter in a broad non-stick pan, add the onions and garlic and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add the spinach and salt, mix well and cook on a high flame for 2 to 3 more minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Remove from the flame, add the cheese and mix well. Keep aside.
Divide the stuffing into 4 equal portions.

How to proceed

Heat and grease the 125mm (5”) diameter circle non-stick pan using ¼ tsp of oil.
Cool slightly and pour ¼ cup of the batter and tilt the pan around quickly so that the batter coats the pan evenly.
Cook the pancake using ¼ tsp of oil on a medium flame for 2 minutes or till it turns light brown in colour from both the sides.
Remove the pancake on a clean dry surface and spread one portion of the stuffing on one edge.
Fold the pancake to make a semi-circle and press it lightly.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 to make 3 more pancakes.
