Notes :
- If you want the pancakes to be more crispy, add ¼ cup of rice flour.
- Banana helps to soften the pancakes.
- For small babies, skip coconut. Just mash the pancakes with your hands or just dip in warm water and give.
- You can add a pinch of baking powder if making for adults to get more softness.
- Increase jaggery powder if u want more sweetness.
- Don't spread it too thin, otherwise it may stick to the tawa.
- Generally wheat doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
- Adding salt is not recommended until 1 year of age.
- Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

It ll be soft only but should be cooked well. Try making it thick and cook in low flame.
