Savory Edamame Pancakes

To be honest, I tried making a new healthier dosa batter using some edamame & oats but the situation got pretty sticky, literally! So I improvised. Best decision ever. Okay, maybe not best decision ever but definitely the best decision in the moment.

I used some standard uttapam toppings for these pancakes but feel free to go nuts with your own variations. Sesame seeds, pickled ginger, bell peppers, truffle butter… I can go on but I’ll let you figure out the minor details!

Ingredients

• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats, preferably gluten free (soaked for a couple minutes and drained)
• 2 cups edamame, shelled
• Water to grind
• Salt
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1-2 tbsp paprika powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• Pepper to taste
• Oil/butter to cook
• Chopped onions + cilantro + green chili for topping

Preparation

1. Grind the edamame and oats to a smooth paste using some water.
2. The batter needs to be pancake consistency.
3. Add the spices and seasoning and mix.
4. Heat a Dosa griddle/ non stick frying pan.
5. Add ladle fulls of batter to make pancakes, measuring about 3 inches in diameter.
6. Add the toppings of ur choice on top. Add a teaspoon full of oil/butter around each pancake and flip them over once they start to brown around the edges.
7. Flip them back around once the underside is golden brown.
8. Serve hot with your favorite chutney!
