What are Lentil and Coconut Pancakes?

Savoury pancakes have been a popular item since a very long time, as many people don't prefer eating sweet food for breakfast and savoury pancakes can also make a healthier alternative for the usual heavy dish. This protein packed powerhouse is perfectly suitable for the Indian palette. The blended dal paste is a perfect replacement for the excess refined flour therefore making it a healthier alternative.



How to make Lentil and Coconut Pancakes

  1. Take over boiled toor dal and puree it into a fine paste. Add melted butter to the dal puree, with coconut milk, baking powder, salt, pepper and an egg. Whisk the mixture till it is smooth and creamy.
