Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, salt, red chili flakes, ground cumin, and ground turmeric. Whisk until smooth and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Fold in chopped shallots, green onion, serrano pepper, cilantro, and parsley into the batter.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add ghee to coat the surface.
  4. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
  5. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Serve hot with chutney, yogurt, or fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Let the batter rest for better texture.
  • Adjust spice levels as desired.
  • Add more water if the batter is too thick.
  • Preheat the skillet for even cooking.
