Besan Ka Cheela (Besan Pancakes)

I was leafing through some old editions of Readers Digest yesterday, and there i spotted this recipe in the food section of the magazine. I tweaked the recipe a little by adding a few ingredients and the breakfast was a hit.Together with Mint Chutney the pancakes was a rocking combo! 

What goes:-

• Besan (Gram Flour) - 2cups
• Onion - 1 large
• Green Chilli - 1 to 2
• Coriander leaves - a handful
• Carom Seeds (Ajwain ) - 1 tsp
• Curry leaves - a few
• Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
• Black Pepper Powder - 1tsp
• Red Chilli Powder  - to taste
• Chat Masala - to taste
• Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
• Salt - to taste
• Water - as required
• Oil - little 

Method:-


Finely chop the onion, green chilli, coriander leaves and curry leaves. In a big bowl add all the ingredients and mix well. 

Now slowly add enough water to get the Dosa/Pancake Batter consistency.

Heat a non stick pan and add little oil. Spread one (1) ladle of batter evenly on it.

Cook till the bottom side is done and turn/flip upside down. You can flaunt your tossing skills if u are adept at it.

Cook till it is crispy and brown on both sides.

Serve hot with Mint Chutney or Sauce..

The serving tips for the pancakes also mentioned how well it goes with toasts. 


Enjoy !
