Acorn Squash Indian Pancakes
- 2-3 cups pureed roasted squash
- 2/3 cup chickppea flour (besan)
- 2/3 cup AP flour
- 2/3 cup rice flour
- 1and3/4 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seed
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 + tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Puree the roasted squash in a food processor. You should end up with 2 or 3 cups of puree, more will just have a stronger squash flavor, no problem.
- Put the flours, hot water, red pepper flakes, salt, and baking powder in a blender. Mix to form a batter.
- Add the pureed squash to the batter.
- Heat two tablespoons of oil in a small frying pan and add the mustard seeds, fennel seeds, and cumin until they "pop" and get toasty. Add to the batter, along with grated ginger.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 min, or up to 3 hours.
- Now, you're just making pancakes. Heat a griddle and lightly oil. Pour the batter onto the griddle in whatever size pancakes you like. I did about 3" pancakes. cook for about two minutes per side.
