Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancakes) made in Desi style



Ingredients
3/4 th cup besan (gram flour)
3/4 th cup pancake mix
1 cup red cabbage
1/4th cup spring onions
pinch of baking soda
2 eggs
salt, pepper, chilly powder, turmeric, dhania jeera powder (opt) according to taste
water, oil (use olive oil if you want to make it healthy)

Method
To make the batter, add gram flour, pancake mix, salt, spices, baking soda to water and make a paste like you make for bhajia batter. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
Cut the veggies into small thin pieces and add to the batter. Heat the pan and add some oil to it. just before putting batter on the pan, add eggs to it. Put the batter on the pan like you will do for uttapam or pancake. Use a non-stick pan so that the pancake does not stick to it and comes out as a single piece :) Turn and cook the opposite side.

Alternate way to make this will be to make the pancake without veggies and egg and while its cooking on the pan, put the veggies and an egg. this way the veggies remain separate, it looks attractive and is healthier. In this case, dont turn the pancake, just cook it from one side. For the other side to cook, you can close the pan with a lid so that it cooks wit the steam.

The picture shows the first method
