In Indian cuisine there are so many variations of this pancake! We never need to use eggs in our pancakes, fritters, etc and we create a myriad of these pancakes using mixture of various lentils, millets, rice, wheat flours and spices, herbs, veggies. It’s so abundant in flavor and nutrition. The older I’m getting in age more I am appreciative of the cuisine of my roots and the ingredients used. Thank you Yotam Ottolenghi! I’m happy to see you including these ingredients in your dishes.
I cooked this recipe today and it was truly delicious. I like the fact that it is very versatile, so I substituted the chickpeas with sweet corn and the cilantro and mint for parsley. I also added one grated carrot in addition to the courgettes. I loved the spices (I excluded the cinammon) and the flavor of the chickpea flour was good. Thanks for introducing me to a delicious and flexible vegan recipe! Next time I'm considering making it with cabbage and other veggies.
These are amazing so easy to make and super tasty. I've found rice flour works better than corn starch/flour as well as adding grated carrot to the veggie mix.
We have lots of courgettes in our garden so I made this recipe. A few tips. Make sure you squeeze as much water as you can out of the grated courgette/zucchini. If you don't your mixture will be too runny and you might have to add more flour ( but thats not the end of the world). I liked a little more chilli . When I made it again increased the chilli to 2 small fresh green chillies' but it depends on what variety you use. I left out the cinnamon but I grated two cloves of garlic into the mix which I think improved this great recipe. (Thank you Yotam) Does anyone have any other variations on this recipe?
@@Ottolenghi it is extremely helpful, thank you very much. I love your channel and have many of Ottolenghi’s books. Love them all! Can’t wait to try this recipe too!
I just checked out your recipe for these delectable pancakes. I'm American, so I never learned metrics. Do you have your recipes in the Imperial measurements too?
I like this recipe. The possibilities using different ingredients is endless. Please pick a measurement standard though. The mixed measurements is difficult.
Its not like he made it up,I made some like these years ago after seeing an Indian cook do them.Honestly these chefs that like to make out they invented the recipe themselves ...lol.
@@jayolovitt5969 No its not really an indian recipe but I saw it being cooked by an Indian chef....just saying,its nothing new and made it myself some years ago now,you can put whatever you want in it as its just a batter with chick pea flour.
That's what everyone does and there's nothing wrong with it, taking inspiration from other places. There is nothing truly new anymore when it comes to creativity that's just how it is.
Not a pancake. but a fritter. I'm disappointed because I was expecting something thin I could wrap around an interesting filling. Hmmm, by trying to cater to a US audience, perhaps you're discounting other nationalities unnecessarily. Not difficult to incorporate other local terms into your monologues. Just a thought.
