- Just before cooking, gently fold in the Eno fruit salt. Do not overmix.

- Pour a small spoonful of batter onto the hot griddle, spreading it into a 2-inch (50mm) diameter circle.
- Sprinkle a small amount of grated paneer, carrots, and chopped tomatoes over the pancake.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the pancake.
- When the bottom is cooked and lightly browned, carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for a few seconds until lightly browned.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter and toppings.
Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Green Pea Pancakes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or cumin powder to the batter.
- If you prefer a smoother pancake, blend the pea paste until completely smooth. For a more rustic texture, leave it slightly coarse.
- Don't overcrowd the griddle; cook the pancakes in batches to ensure even cooking.
- Experiment with other vegetables! Onions, bell peppers, or spinach would all be delicious additions.
