Ingredients:
1 cup chickpea / garbanzo bean flour or besan
1½ cups water
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cayenne
¼ teaspoon carom seeds or cumin seeds
½ cup finely chopped red onion
1 hot green chile, finely chopped (remove seeds to reduce heat)
¼ cup packed chopped cilantro
1 to 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon safflower oil, divided -
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour and ¾ cup water. Whisk to get a smooth consistency. Whisk in another ½ to ¾ cup water to make a thin lump-free batter. (If using besan, you will need less water).
Add the salt, turmeric, cayenne, carom seeds, onion, chile, cilantro, and 1 teaspoon of oil, and mix well. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, drizzle a few drops of oil on the skillet. Spread the oil using a paper towel. Pour a ladle full (1/4 to â…“ cup) of the batter onto the skillet. Spread the batter by moving the skillet to make a 6 to 8-inch pancake. Drizzle a few drops of oil on the edges of the pancake.
Cook until the edges start to leave the pan and the bottom is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 to 4 minutes. Continue to make the rest of the pancakes. Serve hot. - Link to full recipe: Find the whole recipe & the story behind it here!
