  • 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

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, turmeric, cumin, and salt until smooth. No lumps, please!
  2. Add the chopped bell pepper, spinach, and green chili to the batter. Stir well to combine.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it get shimmering hot.
  4. Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it into a thin, even layer (about 8 inches in diameter, if you’re a measuring enthusiast).
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
