🥞 Fluffy Vegetable Savory Pancakes

🧑‍🍳 Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp ground black pepper

• ½ tsp turmeric (optional, for color and flavor)

Wet Ingredients:

• ¾ cup plain yogurt (or buttermilk)

• ¼ cup water (adjust for batter consistency)

• 1 large egg

• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Vegetables (mix & match):

• ½ cup grated carrot

• ¼ cup finely chopped bell pepper

• ¼ cup grated zucchini (squeeze out moisture)

• ¼ cup finely chopped spinach or kale

• 2 tbsp chopped green onions or red onion

• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro or parsley (optional)

Extras (optional):

• ½ tsp chili flakes or chopped green chili

• ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and turmeric.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   In another bowl, whisk yogurt, water, egg, and oil until smooth.

3. Combine:
   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix—lumps are okay. Add more water 1 tbsp at a time if the batter is too thick (should be like thick pancake batter).

4. Add Veggies:
   Gently fold in the chopped and grated vegetables and any extras you’re using.

5. Cook the Pancakes:

   • Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat with a little oil.

   • Spoon ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan.

   • Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

   • Adjust heat if browning too quickly.

6. Serve Warm:
   Serve with yogurt, sour cream, chutney, or a spicy dipping sauce.

📝 Tips:

• Make it vegan: Use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) and non-dairy yogurt.

• Crispier edges: Add a little rice flour or semolina to the batter.

• Batch tip: These freeze well! Reheat in a toaster or pan.
