Speedy chickpea-flour pancake

This is the perfect way of bringing together a few sad leftovers in your fridge - simply by creating a speedy chickpea-flour pancake to top them with. This also goes well with just a simple salad, on it's own with chili oil drizzled on top, or as a companion to any dal or curry. Adjust the seasoning to your likings - no limits here.

What you need

Enough for 4

Must have ingredients:

  1. 2 cups of Chickpea flour (300g)
  2. 3 cups of Water (I find the ratio of 1:1.5 of CP flour and water work best here but adjust to your likings)
  3. 1,5 tsp of salt & pepper

Optional (but recommended) ingredients:

  1. 1/2 a fresh chili
  2. Some fresh herbs cut thinly - I usually use cilantro but parsley or basil will also work
  3. pinch of turmeric or cumin or more chili powder

Method

  1. If you only have raw chickpeas then measure your two cups and blend until you have a fine (ish) flour. Whisk together your 3 ingredients in a bowl
  2. Chop your chili, cilantro and perhaps garlic or some onion into a size of your liking and add to your bowl with the batter. Whisk to combine.
  3. Add a dash of your preferred oil and start pouring in batter. You can make a few bigger ones and use them more as a "wrap/pancake" as seen above or make smaller one to just have as a "side". Either way, they will be delicious. Fry for a few minutes on each side or until the pancake starts crisping up and enjoy straight away!

(DO NOT USE a sticky pan, you will end up ruining your pancakes as the batter is quite fragile)
