Description
These savory chickpea pancakes, also known as Besan Chilla, are a delightful and quick breakfast or snack option. I've been making these for years, and they're always a hit! The combination of chickpea flour and aromatic spices creates a unique and satisfying flavor. They're perfect for a light lunch or a savory breakfast. The recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian, making it a great choice for various dietary needs. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables and spices to customize the flavor to your liking. Serve them with your favorite chutney or a dollop of yogurt for a complete meal. They are best enjoyed warm, straight from the pan!
Ingredients (14 ingredients)
-
120 g chickpea flour
-
0.5 tsp ajwain (carom seeds)
-
0.75 tsp garam masala
-
0.75 tsp ground cumin
-
0.125 tsp ground turmeric
-
1 piece small onion
-
1 piece small tomato
-
1 piece green chilli
-
1 tsp grated ginger
-
1 handful coriander
-
1 tbsp vegetable oil
-
2 tsp salt
-
150 ml water
-
80 ml water
Preparation (5 steps)
Prepare the batter
Add 120g chickpea flour, ½ tsp ajwain (carom seeds), ¾ tsp garam masala, ¾ tsp ground cumin, ⅛ tsp ground turmeric, 2 tsp salt, 1 small onion (quartered), 1 small tomato (quartered), 1 green chilli (halved), 1 tsp grated ginger, and a small handful of coriander to the mixing bowl.
Chop the ingredients
Chop all the ingredients for 5 Sec. / Level 5.
Mix the batter
Add 150ml water and mix for 20 Sec. / Level 4. If needed, add up to 80ml more water until you have a thick but pourable batter.
Cook the pancakes
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add some of the 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Stir the batter, then ladle 2 tbsp into the center of the pan. Spread it out into a thin pancake. Cook until the edge begins to lift from the pan, about 1-2 mins. Flip and press down gently using a spatula. Fry until golden spots appear and it is cooked through, about 1-2 mins.
Repeat and serve
Repeat with the remaining oil and batter, ensuring the pan remains hot but not too hot, to avoid burning. Serve with chutneys and masala tea.
