Besan Poora (savoury chickpea crepe)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Besan / Gram flour (split chickpea flour)
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup minced bell pepper
- 1 minced scallion
- 1 minced green chilli
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1/4 cup minced coriander, reserve a few leaves for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 3/4 cup water
- Cooking oil or cooking oil spray, as needed
Directions
- Mince all your ingredients and add to a bowl with the Besan, except the water.
- Adding 1/4 cup of water at a time, whisk your batter into a runny consistency. It should coat the back of your spoon but be thinner than a traditional pancake batter.
- Preheat your non-stick frypan on medium-low. Using very little oil or an oil spray, cook your pancakes on both sides until lightly golden brown.
- It's helpful to use a large measuring cup with a spout for this as it allows for easy pouring! Once they come off the frypan, enjoy them hot! A little twist my family enjoys for Vaisakhi is spreading your favourite chutney on one side, sprinkling in a little grated cheddar, and rolling into a filled roll. Finish with a garnish of a few coriander leaves and enjoy!
