Equipment
- Pancake Pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup leftover dal
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 cup besan/chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoon rice flour
- Salt
- Cooking oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add leftover dal.
- Add chickpea flour/besan and rice flour.
- Add chopped onions.
- Whisk it all together to make a smooth pancake consistency batter. Add water if the batter is too thick.
- Heat a pancake pan and once its hot, pour a spoonful of batter. Spread it like a pancake and drizzle oil around it. Cook both sides for about 3-4 minutes or until golden.
Notes
- Taste and add salt as required because the leftover dal will also have salt in it.
- Since the Indian Dal is fully flavored with required spices, we don't need many ingredients in this recipe.
- This batter does not require any fermentation and the crepes can be prepared immediately.
- Rice flour helps make the pancakes crispy.
- Chopped onions gives the pancake a nice crunch.
- Add water or buttermilk to the batter to dilute it, if its too thick.
- The batter can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for 3-4 days.
- You can even freeze the batter.
