Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados, halved, stoned and the flesh scooped
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 and 1/2 C of plain whole wheat flour (atta)
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 and 1/4 C milk
  • 1/2 tsp (more or less) crushed red chillies
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • non stick spray +or oil to grease the pan

Instructions
 

  • Mix the avocados (mashing them) with the carrots, chillies, onion, flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the milk, egg and the tbsp of oil and whisk to make a batter.
  • Heat and grease (with preferably the spray) a pan over low heat.
  • Add a ladle of the batter and gently spread it out a little with the ladle itself. Cover and cook for approximately 2 minutes.
  • Lift up the pancake, and while still holding it in the spoon, grease the pan again and turn it over to cook the other side for another 2 minutes. During this time, gently press the pancake with a slotted spoon.
  • Transfer to a plate covered with kitchen roll, stacking one on top of the other as more are being made.
  • Serve hot. We had ours with some dal (red lentil soup) and some mixed pickle.
