Instructions

  1. In a bowl add 1 cup moong dal (yellow split lentil) and 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds. Wash them thoroughly and then drain out the water. You can soak the lentils for 2 hours but that’s optional if you are in a hurry.
  2. Now add the washed lentils and fenugreek seeds to a grinder.
  3. Add chopped green chilies and add ginger. 
  4. Add 1/2 cup water and grind it into a smooth paste. Add water if your batter is not smooth and grind till smooth paste.
  5. In a bowl add the yellow lentil paste then add 1/2 cup rolled oats powder. (I have taken rolled oats and then powdered them into a grinder)
  6. Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and gram masala powder.
  7. Add water as required and mix well to form a smooth batter. Keep the batter aside for 10 minutes.
  8. Heat a frying pan and brush with 1 tbsp of oil
  9. With the help of a ladle pour the batter and spread to form a round shape like a pancake.
  10. Now top the pancake with sliced onions, tofu cubes, cherry tomatoes cut in halves, and chopped coriander leaves or parsley.
  11. Cook for 5 minutes till below surface is little golden brown.
  12. Now cook the topping side for 3 minutes on medium flame. Press with the spatula frequently.
  13. Now flip again and the topping side is golden brown. Take it out with the help of a spatula.
  14. Serve hot with ketchup or dip of your choice.

Notes

  • Wraps can also be made from these pancakes.
  • If you wish, grate a variety of vegetables like onions, carrots, and capsicum into the batter or make a light vegetable sauté to serve as the filling inside the pancakes.
  • You can keep leftover pancakes in the refrigerator covered. To reheat, simply microwave or reheat in a pan. Alternatively, pancakes can be frozen. After they have thawed overnight in the refrigerator, reheat them.
  • In any kitchen, a good blender can save the day. In most cases, you don’t need the best of the best, just something you can depend on. Consider becoming a Patron if you enjoy what I’m doing here and would like to support me.
