Indian Style Pancakes

It was a regular Sunday morning and I wanted to break the mundane breakfast regime by giving a slight twist to the Culinary skills and there comes one more Experiment straight from the "Ghar ka Kitchen"

It was nothing much on the efforts side though was a pure delight to the taste buds and the eyes. It can be easily customized as per the veggies you have at your place, the way I did :)

So here is how I started, I boiled potatoes, peas. Then finely chopped the chillies, tomatoes and olives. You can also add onion, beans, capsicum as you like.

Ingredients to Fill

Mix them well with salt and pepper (as per your taste), Cut the brown bread in round shapes using any circular bowl with sharp edges. You can have white bread well, I like brown bread more and hence I opted for that one. Then take one big bowl, mix the chickpea flour with water and some salt and pepper, make a batter out of it and let it settle for some time.

Take a round cut bread piece, fill it with the ingredients you have prepared and again place a round bread on top of it. Now put a little pressure on the edges so that the bread is perfectly sealed. Now dip the filled bread into chickpea batter and keep it aside for a while.

Then take a nonstick pan, sprinkle it with olive oil, as the pan becomes hot - place the filled round bread that you have dipped with chickpea batter and then shallow fry it. It uses hardly any oil, so no worries on that front. Flip them from both the sides and let them turn golden brown.

Now place them on a tissue paper, to absorb all that extra oil. Sprinkle them with grated cheese, basil, and paprika. Serve them hot with sauces of your choice.

*If you do not like chickpea or want to make it more crisp, then you can avoid dipping into chickpea batter and directly put them in the pan(on the flames). Also, you can make a plain pancake as well if you do not want to put the filling. 

Here is how my final version looked like :)
