Ingredients
large onion (finely chopped)
1/4th  
finely chopped capsicum and/or tomato
1/2  
baking soda
1   teaspoon
rava
1   cup
yogurt
1   cup
water
1   cup
jeera
1   tablespoon
red chilli powder (optional)
1   teaspoon
salt
1   teaspoon
 
Instructions

1. Take the rava, yogurt, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes.

2. In the meanwhile, finely chop onion and other vegetables of choice. I prefer capsicum, but you could use tomato or any other topping of choice.

3. After 10 minutes of sitting the dough, add water to make a thick consistency batter. Add chilli powder for a little zing.

4. Heat non-stick pan on medium flame. Pour a ladle full of dough on the heated non-stick pan. Do not spread the dough.

5. Quickly sprinkle a pinch of jeera, and chopped veggies. This recipe does not require any oil, but you may need to drizzle some oil around if not using a non-stick pan.

6. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes or until you are able to lift the crepe. Flip and let cook for another minute.

7. Transfer to serving plate. Serve with either Sambhar, chutney or tomato ketchup!
