This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes. I use extra vegetables to make it healthier. Adding vegetables not only makes these pancakes healthy but also gives crunch to them. I usually add some chopped onions, along with shredded zucchini and carrots. These are savory pancakes, so you can serve them with some ketchup. Or it can also be served as a sandwich by placing the pancakes between two slices of bread. There are some recipes that take you on a trip down memory lane. Besan Puda is one of those dishes for me. When I was a kid, my Mom made these Besan Puda or Besan Chilla or Savory Vegan Pancakes often. This is one of those special breakfasts we always look forward to. I’m sharing this recipe so that you can also experience the amazing flavor of these savory pancakes.
GRAM FLOUR: I have used Gram Flour for making Besan Puda, but if you don’t have it or if you prefer you can also add Chickpea Flour. Sift the flour before using it. SPICES: I usually add spices like Garam Masala Powder, Red Chili Powder, Roasted Cumin Powder, and Amchur/ Mango Powder along with some fresh Cilantro & Mint Leaves. VEGETABLES: Besan Puda is often made by adding only some chopped onions. But I have added some sliced Zucchini and Carrots to the batter. They add a crunch in these vegan pancakes. You can add some spinach leaves too.
