Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)

  • ¾ cup water

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ¼ tsp turmeric

  • ½ tsp cumin

  • ¼ cup chopped herbs (cilantro, parsley, or scallions)

  • Optional: ¼ cup finely chopped vegetables (onion, spinach, tomato, etc.)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk chickpea flour, water, oil, salt, pepper, turmeric, and cumin until smooth.

  • Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.

  • Stir in chopped herbs and vegetables.

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Pour in ¼ cup batter and spread into a circle.

Notes

Resting the batter improves texture. Add chili for spice or serve with chutney, salsa, or avocado. Pancakes freeze and reheat well.
