Savoury Cornmeal Pancakes

These savoury cornmeal pancakes are a wholesome twist to the regular breakfast. Made with makki atta, a touch of wheat flour, fresh coriander, and simple spices, they turn out light yet filling. Perfectly spiced and golden crisp, they make a comforting meal for breakfast.

4 green chillies, finely chopped

1 tsp coriander powder
