SIMPLE SCALLION PANCAKES

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups of chickpea flour

1 cup of water

1/2 cup of sesame oil

2 tbs. of Tamari sauce

1 tsp. of fenugreek powder

1/2 - 1 tsp. of sea salt or 1/2 tsp. of himalayan rock salt

1/2 tsp. of black pepper

1 cup of diced scallions

PREPARATION:

In a bowl, mix the chickpea flour, oil, water, and spices together thoroughly. Then add the scallions and mix it all well. This is the batter. If it is too thick, you can add a little more water and/or oil.

Next, take a pancake griddle or non-stick pan and drizzle 2 tsp. of ghee/salted butter and when the pan is hot enough, take a scoop of the batter and add it to the pan. Use the scoop to spread out the mixture evenly and into a pancake shape. Use a plastic or wooden spatula to flip the pancake over when you can see that the side is browning. Cook evenly on both sides. Serve it on a plate and you can garnish it with some cilantro or parsley.

NOTE: For kapha predominant individuals a variety to this would consist of the 1 cup of scallions, 1/c cup of shredded carrots and 1/2 cup of saute' onions. Remember, Kapha benefits from pungent, bitter, astringent, warm, light and drying qualities. 

This recipe is tasty. It makes a good addition to meals or can be good for breakfast with a cup of tea, or dinner in the same fashion.
