Zucchini And Chickpea Pancakes
- 3 medium zucchini (or about 4 cups shredded )
- 2 squash blossoms (optional, adds a bit of color)
- some coriander (optional ( adds flavor) or basil leaves (optional ( adds flavor)
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon hot red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- olive oil (for cooking)
- Finely shred the zucchini - I use a food processor for this. Julienne the zucchini flowers and the herbs.
- Put all into a large bowl; add the salt, spices and the chickpea flour. Mix well - the moisture that comes out of the zucchini may be enough to turn this into a batter, but if not add a tiny bit of water, just so that it turns moist but not runny.
- Heat up a small (8 inch / 20cm) non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add some olive oil and spread around.
- Put in about half of the batter and spread around to form a circle. Cook for about 5 minutes, then turn and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until it's cooked all the way through.
- (You can slice into the middle a bit to see if there's any batter oozing still; if so, cook a bit more.) Repeat for the other half of the batter.
- Cut into wedges, and serve hot or at room temperature.
