These look so tasty! I am a big fan of dill but have never even heard of jaggery. What is that?
Beth, It is called Panela in USA and Jaggery in India.
how delicious!! I’m going to have to start making some Indian breads- the storebought kind just doesn’t taste as good.
Thanks ..
A GF pancake with dill?? This has my name written all over it. I loooove dill (though I used to hate it as a child – in larger part due to the strong smell!)
I know Ksenia. Even I used to hate it when I was a kid, but now I try different different dishes out of it and make it taste yum.
I would love to give this recipe a try. I wish you lived next door to me. I’ve never had dill in my pancakes. Sounds like a great way to start the day.
Dill is very nutritious and healthy. I try to add it to my food .
What a pretty lil pancake and I’m sure it must be bursting with flavors. We love eating Indian style pancakes on weekends and this will definitely be enjoyed soon 🙂
