Spiced Chickpea Flour Pancakes (Besan Chilla)

Spiced Chickpea Flour Pancakes (Besan Chilla)

By AI Meal Planner

Total: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chickpea flour
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 small Onion
  • 1 piece Green chili
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro

Instructions

1

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of chickpea flour, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and salt to taste. Mix well.

2

Gradually add 1/2 cup water to the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water as needed to achieve a pourable consistency.

3

Stir in the finely chopped small onion, chopped green chili, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro into the batter. Mix until evenly combined.

4

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Once hot, pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

5

Cook the pancake for about 3-4 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.

6

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between pancakes.

7

Serve the spiced chickpea flour pancakes hot, garnished with additional fresh cilantro, and accompanied by yogurt or chutney, if desired.
