BESAN ( CHICKPEA FLOUR) PANCAKES

BESAN ( CHICKPEA FLOUR) PANCAKES

Make these pancakes with zucchini or any other vegetables. These are healthy pancakes ideal for breakfast, brunch, dinner or even for people who are  losing weight. I love having them with green and tamarind chutney. 

Serves 4

Time 30 minutes

2 cups chickpea flour ( besan)

1/2 tsp garlic paste

1/2 tsp ginger paste

1 cup grated zucchini ( don't squeeze the moisture out)

1 small onion finely chopped

2 tsp coriander chopped

2 tbs fenugreek ( methi) chopped

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp coriander powder

salt & pepper

few green chillies 

4 tbs yoghurt

1 tbs tomato grated

Enough water to blend

some oil or ghee for brushing

Method

Mix everything in a bowl by adding enough water. The batter should be not very thin nor thick. 

Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, heat a nonstick pan and cook the pancakes by ladling 1/4 to 1/2 cup on medium high heat. Brush the edges with little oil or ghee. Cook one side for 2 to 3 minutes then turn. 

Serve these pancakes with green chutney or tamarind chutney.
