Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour also known as maida
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp Ajwain Seeds
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Combine the flour, salt, and ajwain seeds in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for about 1.5 hours to ferment.
Add Remaining Ingredients
- After 1.5 hours, add the chopped coriander leaves, crushed peas, and additional salt (if needed) to the batter. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Fry the Gheur
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan or kadai over medium heat. Take a small amount of batter (about 2 tablespoons) and gently pour it into the hot oil, spreading it out to form a thin, round pancake.
Cooking the Gheur
- Fry the Gheur on one side only until golden brown and crispy. You'll notice the pancake starts to puff up and form a distinct shape.
Removing the Gheur
- Carefully remove the cooked Gheur from the pan using a spatula or a knitting needle (as traditionally done). Repeat with the remaining batter until all the batter is used.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve the crispy Gheur warm with sugar, yogurt, or a savory dish like potato curry (Aloo ki Sabzi).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Gheur
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cardamom powder or other spices to the batter.
- The consistency of the batter is key. It should be thick enough to hold its shape but not so thick that it becomes difficult to spread.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Fry the Gheur in batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Experiment with different serving options! Gheur pairs well with chutneys and other dips.
