Vegan Amaranath Pancakes Recipe
Vegan Amaranath Pancakes Recipe has been in my draft for a long time. When we received fine amaranth powder and unsweetened cocoa powder from Organic Positive shop I was tempted to try brownies and pancakes. You can try this for your little ones even during busy mornings because the recipe is super easy. You would need just 3 ingredients and it is all done.
Vegan Amaranath Pancakes Recipe
Unlike the usual pancake recipes, my recipes of pancakes don’t have anything unhealthy like maida/all-purpose flour, baking soda or baking powder or any rising agents or white sugar. You can offer them breakfast or dinner or even as a snack. This stays yummy and soft in the snack box too.

Jaggery Syrup – 1/4 cup

1. Measure and keep all ingredients ready.
2. In a wide bowl add amaranth flour and cocoa powder.

What is Rajgira flour/Amaranth Flour?
The flour is basically from the seeds of the amaranth plant(thandu keerai/mullai keerai in Tamil). This is a seed and not a grain like other millets. They pop up the seeds and are used in cooking/consumed as such /roasted and ground as flour. The amaranth plant is called Chaulai in Hindi and the seeds are named Rajgira | Ramdana in Hindi and Marathi, Rajgaro in Gujarati, Mulai Keerai /Thandu Keerai in Tamil and seeds are called Keerai Vithai, Thotakura Ginjalu, Cheera in Malayalam and Harive in Kannada (plant name). It is actually a pseudo-grain to be very precise. It can be either red or white in colour. The flour is usually slightly ivory in colour or reddish(if seeds are red)
