Spiced Indian Pancakes
Chickpea flour pancakes, also known as besan chilla/ puda / pudla are vegan, savoury pancakes, which are both high in protein and gluten.
We had these pancakes with a large dollop of Garam Garlic Chutney which was amazing! It had a really nice tang and kick to it! The added spice complimented the light, fluffy pancakes so well.
