Ingredients:
- 1 cup chickpea flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ½ cup grated zucchini
- ½ cup grated carrots
- ¼ cup finely chopped bell peppers
- ¼ cup finely chopped spinach
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, for color and health benefits)
- ¾ cup water or milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and grate the zucchini and carrots. Finely chop the bell peppers and spinach. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and turmeric. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the water or milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. The consistency should be slightly thick but pourable.
Step 4: Fold in the Vegetables
Gently fold the grated zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, and spinach into the batter. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout.
Step 5: Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up before cooking the pancakes.
Step 6: Cook the Pancakes
Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, spreading it slightly to form a round pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the pancakes from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Serve warm with a side of yogurt, avocado sauce, or a fresh salad.
