Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, optional, red
Garnish
- 1-2 tbsp Coriander chopped; to taste, fresh
Cooking
- 1-2 tbsp Ghee for cooking pancakes; use for kids or if you prefer a richer flavor, optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel and grate the carrot. Finely chop the onion. Chop the coriander leaves. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt.
Combining Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the grated carrot and chopped onion to the flour mixture. Pour in the beaten egg and gradually add water, mixing until you achieve a pourable batter. The consistency should be slightly thinner than regular pancake batter.
Flavor and Resting
- Stir in the chopped coriander and red chili powder (if using). Let the batter rest for 10 minutes (optional, this allows the flavors to meld).
Cooking the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or ghee to the pan (optional). Pour spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot surface. Do not spread the batter; let it form small pancakes.
Finishing Touches
- Cook the pancakes until golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and delicious carrot and onion pancakes!

Expert Tips for Perfect Carrot Pancakes

- Experiment with different herbs and spices! Add a pinch of cumin or turmeric for extra flavor.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
