Preparation Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients

• Curry Leaves (2 sprigs)
• Sesame Seeds (1 tbsp)
• Ginger (1 inch piece)
• Garlic Cloves (4)
• Red Chillier Powder (1 tsp)
• Onion (1)
• Green Chillier (3)
• Split Chickpeas (1/2 cup)
• Rice Flour (250 gms)
• Crushed Peanuts (1/2 cup)
• Salt to taste
• Cooling Oil (as needed)

Before you start

1. Soak the split chickpeas for two hours.
2. Chop the curry leaves.
3. Grate the ginger and crush the garlic.
4. Chop the green chilies and onion finely.
5. Crush the chickpeas.

Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients for the pancakes and using water as needed, knead into
a soft dough. Divide the dough into small balls.

2. Take a flat-bottomed non-stick pan and using your fingers, flatten a ball of dough
into it. Try and make it as thin as possible.

3. Use your finger to make small holes in it.

4. Put the pan on a medium-low heat to cook. Sprinkle oil all around and on top of the
pancake.

5. Cover and let it cook until golden. When it is done on one side, you can flip and
cook the other. Drizzle more oil if needed.

Tip:

• You might need to move the pan around a little so the pancake cooks evenly.
• The pancakes take a bit of time to cook so give them a while.
