Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Besan (Chickpea Flour)
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 grams Greek Yogurt
- 50 grams Chopped Spinach
- 1 small Green Chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 60 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Coriander Leaves
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the besan (chickpea flour), baking powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the dry mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Add Greek yogurt and water to the mixture to create a smooth, thick, yet pourable batter.
Finely chop the green chili and add it to the batter along with chopped spinach and coriander leaves. Mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, gently spreading it out to form a circular pancake.
Cook the pola on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip the pola carefully and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Serve the Low Carb Besan Pola hot, garnished with additional chopped coriander if desired.
