You need to buy dark green banana leaves. This makes it easy to remove the panki and it does not stick.
-
Cut the banana leaves with a sicossor into small sizes of 4.5 inches width and approx 7 inches in length. We will be cooking the panki on the banana leaves. We cut 2 meadium banana leaves into 16 pieces. This will make 8 makai pankis.
- Don't buy light green banana leaves.

Apply a little oil on one side of each banana leaf and keep aside.
-
Put 2 tbsp of the batter on one half of the greased side on a banana leaf and spread it evenly.
-
Spread the batter with the back of a spoon on the banana leaf.
-
Place another greased banana leaf with the greased side facing downwards over it and press it lightly.
-
Press the banana leaf lightly downwards with your hands.
-
Place on a hot tava.
-
Cook till light brown spots appear on the leaves and the panki in between peels off the leaf easily.
-
Remove the top leaf of the corn panki.
-
Remove the bottom leaf and put in a serving plate.

Serve immediately.

You can make the batter in advance and prepare the panki when you want to eat them.
- Panki means cooked between the banana leaves or corn leaves. A tarla dalal member suggested you can also use corn mielie leaves and that works well.
- You can cook 3 to 4 pankis at one time on a tava.
-
If the mixture is too watery, add besan.
-
Let the guest remove the banana leave when you serve them. That way the panki will remain hot and retain steam.

Corn panki.. i have tried this recipe for the first time.. i was so happy with the result. The best part is these corn panki is light, soft.. just melts in the mouth.. the sweet taste of the corn.. gives a balanced taste to the panki.. And it has just 2 tsp oil.. which is really good for those who consume less oil..

We also make this but use the corn mielie leaves instead of banana leaves works perfectly if banana leaves are not available.

Hi Anjul, The specialty of panki is that it is cooked on a banana leaf. If you want you can try cooking it directly on tava but it wont be a panki. It will be more like a chila. Do try this recipe and share your revieww ith us.

Corn panki has besan. I''m allergic to besan so please suggest a replacement that I can use instead of besan.

Hello, You can try using rice flour instead of besan. Besan is used to give binding. Though we have not tried it with rice flour, you can surely try this recipe and share your review with us.

My mother and I tried out this recipe. Everyone loved it. We didn''t have banana leaves so we tried deep frying the pankis . They turned out to be very delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
