Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Lentil flour (such as chickpea or red lentil flour)
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Yogurt (optional for tanginess)
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 small Green chili (finely chopped, optional for spice)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or ghee (for cooking)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and lentil flour.
Gradually whisk in the water and yogurt (if using) to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be slightly thinner than pancake batter. Add more water if needed.
Stir in the turmeric powder, cumin seeds, salt, chopped cilantro, and green chili (if using). Mix well and let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or ghee.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet and quickly spread it out in a circular motion using the back of the ladle to form a thin crepe.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the crepe turns golden brown underneath.
Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for 1 minute. Remove it from the pan and set it aside. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the Indian-inspired crepes hot with your favorite chutney, curry, or a dollop of yogurt on the side!
