- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cooking time: 10 minutes
- Cuisine type: Fusion
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chickpea flour (also known as besan)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Cooking Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, turmeric, cumin, and salt until smooth. No lumps, please!
- Add the chopped bell pepper, spinach, and green chili to the batter. Stir well to combine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it get shimmering hot.
- Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it into a thin, even layer (about 8 inches in diameter, if you’re a measuring enthusiast).
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the pancake gently, like you’re telling it a secret.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your masterpiece!
Suggestions
- Alternative ingredients: Swap the spinach with kale, or the bell pepper with grated carrot for a different twist.
- Garnishing options: Top with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
- Cooking tips: Make sure the batter is lump-free for a smooth pancake. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; give the pancake room to breathe!
