- Adding bananas help to make the pancakes softer and give natural sweetness. So don't skip it.
- You could add a pinch of baking soda for older kids and adults if you want more softness.
- Don't spread it too thin, otherwise it may stick to the tawa.
- Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
- Make sure that your baby is not allergic to any of the ingredients listed above before you try.

Hi I tried the sweet potato pancakes almost of the consistency you mentioned. Batter was thick too, used medium sized sweet potato yet it became very loose and gluey when cooked in a dish tava.Kalyani
Guess its undercooked. You should cook in low flame, if needed, keep it covered and cook. The sweet potato pancakes should be soft and a little moist but not gooey.
