Description

A savory, gluten-free Indian pancake packed with fresh spinach and spices, Spinach Puda makes a nourishing and flavorful addition to your breakfast table. It’s quick to prepare, easily customizable, and pairs wonderfully with chutney, yogurt, or even a warm cup of chai.


Ingredients

1 cup gram flour (besan)

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

Salt to taste

3/4 cup water (adjust as needed for consistency)

Oil or ghee for cooking


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, spinach, onion, chili, ginger, turmeric, cumin, and salt.
  2. Gradually add water while whisking to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be pourable but not runny.
  3. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or ghee.
  5. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and gently spread into a circular shape.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook the other side.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
  8. Serve hot with chutney, yogurt, or butter.
