How to Make
1. Prepare the Finger Millet Batter
Add finger millet flour, powdered oats, salt, chili flakes, and fresh herbs to a bowl. Gradually add water and whisk until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
2. Cook the Finger Millet Pancake
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with avocado or olive oil. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it thinly. Cover and cook for about 6–7 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until fully cooked. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine the beaten egg, salt, chili flakes, mashed avocado, and chopped spinach. Add sliced mushrooms if desired and mix well.
4. Cook the Egg Filling
Lightly grease the same pan with a little oil. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until the egg is fully set and cooked through.
5. Assemble the Wrap
Place the cooked egg filling over the finger millet pancake. Fold the pancake over the filling to create a wrap.
6. Serve
Place the wrap on a serving plate. Sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds and serve with your favorite green yogurt dip.
