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!

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.

5

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.
