    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, combine the flour, semolina, sugar, baking powder, fennel seeds, and ground cardamom.

    2

    Add the milk and yogurt, and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the liquid.

    3

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a little ghee or butter in it.

    4

    Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown.

    5

    Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until it's cooked through.

    6

    Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all the pancakes are made.

    7

    Serve drizzled with honey or sugar syrup, and sprinkle with sliced almonds and pistachios.
