Semolina pancakes, often called "sooji cheela" in Indian cuisine, are thin, savory pancakes made primarily from semolina flour (sooji), yogurt, and water, creating a smooth batter enriched with spices and optional vegetables like onions, tomatoes, or chilies. Originating from South Asia, they are a quick and wholesome option often enjoyed for breakfast or as a light snack. Semolina is packed with complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy, as well as small amounts of iron and fiber. The addition of yogurt boosts probiotics and protein content, contributing to gut health. While relatively low in fat, these pancakes may become calorie-heavy if fried excessively or paired with rich chutneys. By using minimal oil and incorporating fresh vegetables, semolina pancakes become a nutritious choice for a balanced diet, offering a satisfying blend of texture, flavor, and health benefits in every bite.
