Eggless pancakes can have the same softness and taste as that of the original version. There are many kids, even adults who avoid many vegetables and greens cooked in a traditional way. Try this pancake and check if this can be a saviour not to miss out the nutrients from those veggies.
I have made red,green and brown colour pancakes. You can try with any other coloured vegetables also for different flavours.
Method:
- Divide the wheat flour into 3 equal parts (or as per your preferences).
- We are going to prepare red pancake with beetroot, green with mint, brown with cocoa powder.
Red pancake:
- Blend beetroot pieces with a little water or milk.
- Mix the puree with wheat flour. Add salt and a pinch of baking powder.
- Mix water so that you get a thick batter like we use for idly/adai. Leave aside for 5 minutes.
Green pancake:
- Blend mint leaves, 1 or 2 green chillies with curd.
- Mix the puree with wheat flour. Add salt and a pinch of baking powder.
- Make the the thick batter and leave it undisturbed for 5 minutes.
Chocolate pancake:
- Add 1 table spoon of cocoa powder, 2 tspn of sugar.
- Make the the thick batter using milk and leave it undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Adjust choco and sugar flavours as per your taste. You can also add a pinch of salt.
Making pancakes:
- Now the batter should look fluffy.
- Add 1/2 spoon butter in tawa with simmer heat and add the batter. Make short pancakes with approximately 2 inch thickness.
- Once you get more pores on the facing side, turn the pancake and leave it for 2 minutes or until it is done.
- Your pancakes are ready.
- Avoid or reduce baking powder if you don't want kids to have it.
- Beetroot and choco pancake goes well just with honey, fresh cream. You can have the red and green ones with coconut chutney, chilli powder. I had with hummus(chickpea chutney) which also turned to be awesome.
