Mitho Tikro (Wheat and Semolina Pancake)

Mitho Tikro (Sweet pancake) or Chillro is Sindhi style pancake. Originally it is made from Wheat flour and sugar. But variations can be made by adding a little bit of flour and semolina. Addition of semolina makes it crispy and even tastier. Originally it is made in Desi Ghee (Clarified Butter specially made with cow milk) and is considered a very healthy dish, specially for breakfasts. It is a winter dish.

Mitho tikro was first introduced to me when I was a kid. My grandmother used to serve us Mitho tikro for break fast along with the cup of tea. It is also helpful in weaknesses that sometimes occur from fever, or long term illness. Though it should be avoided if you have throat infections, cough etc as it is made with ghee.

I personally like the ghee version of Mitho tikro. But sometimes I make it in oil instead of ghee, to avoid heaviness. If you want to eat Mitho tikro for health purpose you can make it in desi ghee place your tikro (pancake) in to a bowl and add some milk into it. It tastes very nice.
