Omit the jaggery and cardamom powder. Instead, add finely chopped green chilies, fresh cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the batter for a savory breakfast or snack.
Replace half of the white rice with brown rice (soak for 4-6 hours) or millet like foxtail millet. You can also reduce the quantity of jaggery to your preference.
Add a pinch of nutmeg powder or dry ginger powder (sunth) along with the cardamom for a warmer, more complex flavor profile.

Grease it lightly before making each pole. A well-seasoned cast iron tawa or a good quality non-stick pan works best.
Yes, you can prepare the batter and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes before making the pole. The consistency might thicken, so you may need to add a tablespoon or two of water to adjust it.
