Ingredients

  • 2 cups gram flour besan
  • 1 cup paneer crumbled or finely chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves was
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro coriander leaves
  • 1-2 green chillies finely chopped (adjust according to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon red chilli powder optional
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds jeera
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as needed

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, turmeric powder, red chilli powder (if using), cumin seeds, and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until you achieve a thick, smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter, not too runny or too thick.
  • Add the chopped spinach, crumbled paneer, onion, cilantro, and green chillies to the batter. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes, giving time for the flavours to meld together.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil using a brush or paper towel.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the centre of the pan and gently spread it out using the back of a spoon or a spatula to form a circle. The pancake should be about ¼-inch thick.
  • Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes on one side or until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown. Flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan between each pancake.
  • Serve the Spinach and Paneer Gram Flour Pancakes hot with your choice of chutney, yogurt, or ketchup.
  • Enjoy these healthy and scrumptious pancakes, perfect for a guilt-free indulgence!
