Savoury oat pancakes

This one is dedicated to my nani (Grandmother). It was one of the first recipes I learned from her when I visited her in India.

 

I’ve taken her version of oats na pudla and sprinkled it with health to make my version of savoury oat pancakes.

 

It’s such a good dish to eat when you want to enjoy a light dinner with the family but still have something filling. Its skin-friendly, detox-friendly, vegan, and filled with delicious spices.

 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed creating this version for you. It truly reminds me of some good family times in India, which is why I highly recommend sharing it with the family!

What you will need:

• 1.5 cups ground oats/oat flour
• 1/2 cup chickpea flour
• 1/2 medium diced onion
• 1/2 tomato – diced
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
• 1/2 green chilli chopped
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup Mashed veggies – ( I usually boil frozen veggies – carrots, peas and green peas, and crush them)
• handful of chopped cilantro

SPICES:

• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 teaspoons coriander cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
• Salt to taste

 

DIRECTIONS:

• Mix the oat flour and chickpea flour in a bowl
• Add in onions, tomato, garlic, ginger, mashed veggies, chillies and all the spices
• Add in water and mix well
• The batter should be thin but not extremely watery – add more water if needed
• Lightly oil a pan heating on medium heat
• Add in a ladle full of batter on the pan
• Spread evenly – its okay if its not round but you want it to be flat enough to cook well
• Cover and cook on medium heat until the batter doesn’t stick and is lightly brown at the bottom
• Flip, cover and cook until not sticky – for about 2 mins
• Serve with a coriander chutney

ENJOY!
