  • Cast Iron Skillet for Pancakes (6 inches)

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Sweet Basil Seeds or Chia Seeds. Sweet Basil Seeds have other names like Tumeria, Sabja Seeds, Falooda Seeds. Use either Sweet Basil or Chia whichever is locally available to you.
  • 2 ½ cup Any Vegan Milk. I used Almond milk here. The quantity of milk will vary depending on whether you use Basil seeds or chia seeds. If using Basil seeds, you need more liquid content in the batter as Basil seeds have a tendency to absorb more liquid. If using chia seeds, you will need only 2 cups of milk in total.
  • 3 tbsp Oil. Preferably use any unflavored oil.
