1 cup kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour)  1 ripe banana, mashed  1/2 cup milk or water  2 tablespoons jaggery powder  1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder  Pure ghee for pan frying  Fresh fruits for topping
Whisk the buckwheat flour, mashed banana, jaggery powder, and cardamom powder together in a mixing bowl.
Gradually add the milk or water while stirring continuously to create a smooth, pourable pancake batter without any lumps.
Heat a flat pan over medium heat, brush generously with pure ghee, and pour a ladle of batter onto the surface, spreading it slightly.
Cook for two minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, flip carefully, and cook the other side until golden brown before serving hot with fresh fruits.
