Before I begin with today's recipe I really want to thank Aparna for suggesting me to this list post,which I posted yesterday.I just cannot believe the tremendous response that I have been getting and number of views for this simple list,as always said simple is best :). Okay right here I have an eggless pan cake for you all.This pancake is fortified with the goodness of beetroot and tastes absolutely delicious,it has the magic element "cocoa powder",so this recipe will be a win win for both,kids and mom :). For this pancake I took the idea from raks kitchen and changed the proportions altogether according to our taste.This was a super hit at home,just like eating chocolate cake,in the form of dosai,the Indian in me says so :). I served this with caramel sauce,you can serve with honey,butter or it tastes delicious as such too.Try this simple recipe for your kids breakfast or snacks to feed them something healthy and tasty as well.
Eggless chocolate beetroot pancake recipe
Star ingredients: Beetroot and cocoa powder
Time:20 minutes
Yield:4
Ingredients:
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 small beetroot,boiled and pureed
1 tablespoon coca powder
1 cup milk,boiled and cooled
2 teaspoons oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
A pinch of salt
Caramel sauce for topping
Method:

2.Mix all the dry ingredients,add the pureed beetroot and mix well.
3.Now add milk and whisk well.Add oil and mix well in one direction

5.Heat a tava and pour a ladle full of batter just like oothapam,do not spread.
6.After it has evenly cooked,flip very gently and cook for 30-60 seconds.
7.Serve hot with/without caramel sauce.
Notes:
1.If you make this in nonstick pan,you can make in medium flame,but in iron pan the heat is retained for long time so it is best to cook on low flame.
2.You can increase/decrease the cocoa powder according to taste.
3.Instead of oil you can use 1 teaspoon softened butter while making the batter
4.You can use all purpose flour instead of wheat flour.
