The healthy and tasty ragi pancakes are ready!

Notes:

If you want the pancakes to be more crispy, add a ¼ cup of rice flour.
Banana helps to soften the pancakes. I used a red banana. You can use any sweet-tasting ripe bananas.
For small babies, skip jaggery. Just mash the pancakes with your hands or dip in warm water and give.
Don't add whole cashews for small babies as that might lead to choking hazards. Instead, add them in powdered or paste form.
You can add a pinch of baking powder if making for adults to get more softness.
Don't spread it too thin. Otherwise, it may stick to the tawa.
Generally, ragi doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptomsand stop feeding your baby if you find any.
Adding salt is not recommended until one year of age.
Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

You should cook in low flame and make it slightly thick unlike dosa..If cooked in high flame or spread thin it may stick to the tawa..hope it helps
