Gram Flour(Besan) Pancake Recipe | High Protein Recipe India
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion
- 1 green chilly
- 1 cup besan – makes 4 pancakes
- Pinch of red chili powder and salt
Method of Preparation
Chop Onion and Green Chilly.
Add them to Besan along with salt and red chilli powder.
Add water so that the consistency is such that it can easily be poured on the pan. A word of caution here, you have to mix besan properly since it forms lumps.
Heat the pan for 5 minutes and add few drops of oil. You can use a nonstick pan if you are not an expert in cooking. Use a spatula or a bowl to spread the mixture on the pan.
Turn the pancake upside down when it’s little brown(read cooked).
Tadaaa, the pancake is ready :).
P.S – I am no expert in cooking, so no sorry for goof ups 😉
You can add any green leaves like spinach or methi to make it healthier.
Use it as a roll by rolling in some grated paneer/cottage cheese or salads.
