I first made this dish living in Maui in the nineties. One time I served this for a dinner guest. She loved it. It’s quite unique. I probably have made this around 30 times in the last 10 years.



Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 medium diced fine scallions
  • 1 teaspoon diced ginger
  • 10 sprigs diced fresh coriander
  • 3 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup carrots
 

Recipe

Heat griddle. Melt 1 tablespoon of ghee or butter. Ladle spoonful of mixture on griddle. When bubbles become dry turn over pancake. Cook until golden brown. Serve with homemade mango chutney or store bought.
