These savoury pancakes are loaded with good-for-you veggies in a light batter and with a kick of flavour coming from this delicious Chipotle Yoghurt Sauce. A great option for a light lunch or as a lovely side.
Savoury Pancakes
-1 small carrot, finely diced
-1 small spring onion, sliced
-1 jalapeno, finely chopped
-1 cup cabbage, finely chopped
-½ cup courgette, finely diced
-1 tin 220g White Mexican Corn, rinsed and drained
-¼ cup coriander, roughly chopped
-½ cup flour
-1 tbsp corn starch
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp pepper
-½ tsp onion powder
-½ tsp garlic powder
-½ cup of water
-vegetable oil
1 In a big bowl, mix ¼ cup of flour, corn starch, salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and about half the water. Bring all together until a pancake-like batter is achieved. Add more flour and water, little by little until so. It shouldn’t be too runny or too thick. Set aside.
2 Add all the vegetables and coriander. Mix very well. There should be more vegetables than batter in the bowl.
3 Add enough vegetable oil to a large frying pan, these pancakes are not to be deep fried, just enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Bring heat to medium-high and once hot, add about two tablespoons of veggie mix and flatten as much as possible. Do not overcrowd the pan, leave spaces in between. This amount of batter should yield about 6 small pancakes. Cook in batches if needed. Cover the pan for 3 minutes to allow the pancakes to cook inside. Reduce the heat if they brown too quickly. Turn once they start to get golden brown and cover again for a couple more minutes. Remove from the pan once golden brown on both sides.
4 Serve these savoury pancakes with a side of Chipotle Yoghurt Sauce.
Notes
- These pancakes are so easy to make and the vegetables or the batter amount are only a suggestion.
- You can use any other vegetables you want. The same goes for the batter, it can be flavoured with paprika, cumin or any other spice blend you enjoy.
