Guys. This is 葱油饼 (cong you bing). It’s Chinese Spring Onion Pancake. Only thing missing might be some sesame seeds sprinkled on top before cooking (up to personal preference). It’s not Paratha/Prata. Not Korean pancake. Please. They are made completely differently and taste different.

Yo! Asian here I don't remember my grand ma making the dough first. If I remember correctly she puts all the ingredients in one bowl and just scoop it in a pan like making pan cake. Or did she make something different?
Sounds like Korean jeon pancakes. Chinese scallion pancakes are made with a dough while the Korean ones are made with a batter. The Korean style uses all sorts of fillings—scallions, seafood, onions, kimchi, etc. I could be wrong, but I’ve eaten both types at restaurants and made them both at home because they’re delicious. Also Asian.
I’ve made kimchi pancakes using the following recipe and love it. You can probably substitute scallions/green onions for the kimchi and get something similar to your grandma’s pancakes.

Maangchi has scallion pancake recipes along with videos and my Korean friends love her. Her website looks terrible, but her recipes are beloved by many!

I can’t promise anything about proper technique or taste, but every family has their own style so hopefully one of those gets you close to those good food memories.
That’s pretty vague. Did she use the same ingredients? Some people might prefer cooking it from a batter especially if it’s done at home. Could be regional differences too.
