Instructions
 

Prepare the Green Pea Batter

  • Grind the boiled green peas into a coarse paste using a blender, adding minimal water.
  • Transfer the pea paste to a bowl. Add rice flour, gram flour, turmeric powder, green chilies, and salt. Mix thoroughly, gradually adding water to achieve a pourable batter consistency.
  • Just before cooking, gently fold in the Eno fruit salt. Do not overmix.

Cook the Mini Pancakes

  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or tava over medium heat.
  • 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

  • Serve the mini pancakes hot, garnished with your favorite chutney (such as cilantro-mint chutney) or ketchup.

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.
