Ingredients: Simple, Wholesome, and Flavorful

To make these mouthwatering savoury pancakes, you’ll need:

•1 cup wheat flour (atta)
•1 cup gram flour (chickpea flour)
•2 tablespoons semolina
•1 medium tomato, finely diced (1/2 cup)
•1 medium onion, finely diced (1/2 cup)
•1 teaspoon ginger, finely chopped
•1/4 cup coriander leaves, finely chopped
•1 teaspoon cumin seeds
•1 teaspoon turmeric powder
•Salt to taste
•Optional: Grated cheese for a cheesy twist
•350 ml water

Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine wheat flour, gram flour, semolina, chopped tomatoes, onions, ginger, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and salt. Gradually add water and stir well to ensure there are no lumps. The consistency should be similar to that of a thick pancake batter. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a cup of the batter into the center and spread it out like an omelette. Here’s a little trick: cover the pancake with a lid for 10-15 seconds. This helps it cook thoroughly from the inside out, ensuring a fluffy texture.

Step 3: Add a Cheesy Twist

After the pancake is golden brown on the bottom, flip it over. If you’re going for the cheesy version, now’s the time to sprinkle some grated cheese on top. Let the other side cook until it’s also golden brown, with the cheese melted and slightly crispy.

Serving Suggestions: Customize Your Pancake

Savoury pancakes are incredibly versatile. Serve them hot with a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of tangy chutney, or a side of fresh salad for a complete meal. They are perfect for any time of the day and can be adapted to include whatever herbs or add-ins you love. Try adding spinach, different types of cheese, or even a mix of herbs for varied flavors.

  3. Ila, these savoury pancakes look beyond delicious. Thanks to both you and your brother-in-law for sharing this recipe. I love everything made with chickpeas and ,of course, spices.

Have a great weekend with your family!!! xx

    How delicious!  It’s very common in Japan to commute at least 1 hour each way too.  And most of the time you don’t get to sit down on train/bus… it is tough.  I have a few working mom friends and it’s a lot of work waking up early to make bento for kids, go to work, and go home to cook.  You are doing great job!  And it’s nice to hear your brother-in-law is a great cook.  Most men in Japan don’t cook much… I’m thankful for my (Chinese) husband who cook once in a while.  Thank you for sharing delicious pancakes.  I can eat this anytime!
