  1. 01

    Whisk the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, cardamom powder, and salt in a bowl.

  2. 02

    Add the whole milk and eggs and whisk until the batter is smooth and pourable.

  3. 03

    Let the batter rest briefly so it cooks into tender crepes.

  4. 04

    Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with ghee.

  5. 05

    Pour in a small amount of batter and swirl it into a thin round.

  6. 06

    Cook until the surface looks set and the underside is lightly golden, then flip and cook the second side briefly.

  7. 07

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more ghee to the pan as needed, and stack the crepes to keep them soft.
