Chickpea Pancakes


These pancakes are quick and easy to make but I was underwhelmed by their flavor. You are supposed to eat them with cilantro chutney, I didn't have any and I'm not a huge fan of it so I didn't bother to buy or make it. Instead, I ate some with a curry I had previously done and some more by itself. I found that they were too plain on their own, and too heavy to go with the curry.


Chickpea Pancakes

Ingredients

  • chickpea flour
  • chopped cilantro
  • pinch turmeric
  • salt to taste
  • water as needed
  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil

Directions

Mix the flour, chopped cilantro, turmeric and salt in a bowl. Add enough water to get a batter the consistency of cake batter, neither too liquidy or too thick. Mix well.

Heat the oil in a skillet over low heat. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter and cook until it starts bubbling up on the sides and it's golden brown, turn and cook until golden brown.
