- The griddle/tava should be heated by now. If drops of water dance on the griddle, it is hot enough. The griddle should not be too hot, adjust heat accordingly.
- If using cast iron griddle, grease but remove excess oil using a towel to get a pancake with smoothly browned bottom/top.
- Pour about 1/3rd cup of batter on the griddle and spread it a little if needed.
- When you start seeing bubbles on the top (for me, it takes about 1½ minutes), flip the pancake. .
- Cook flipped for another 1½ minutes. on medium heat.

Notes
- Instead of atta, regular whole wheat flour/whole wheat pastry flour/white whole wheat flour can be used. Regular whole wheat flour will have a stronger whole wheat taste compared to atta/white whole wheat flour. Please check the post for texture comparison photo.
- Fluff the flour before measuring.
- Use fresh baking soda.
- Mix batter gently, do not overmix.
- Set the tava/griddle to heat on medium heat and then start mixing the batter.
- Do not rest the batter for too long after mixing. Prepare pancakes soon after mixing the batter.
- If not making a vegan, oil free version, butter/ghee(non-vegan)/oil can be spread over the pancakes while they are still hot.
