Packed with protein, balanced nutrition and vibrant flavours, this dish is perfect for a quick breakfast, hearty snack or even a light meal.

These pancakes not only satisfy your cravings but also keep health in check, with 340 calories, 24 grams of protein, and 6 grams of fiber per serving. A delightful mix of desi ingredients and global inspiration, they're the ideal option for anyone looking to upgrade everyday meals without complicated steps.

A Nutrient-Dense, Balanced Meal:

• What makes this recipe stand out is its smart ingredient pairing. The base uses besan and rice flour, creating a batter that is both light and protein-rich. Besan adds depth while boosting protein, and rice flour brings crispiness, essential for that pancake-like texture.

• The veggies, cabbage, carrots, spring onions, and onions deliver crunch, colour, and nutrients. Mixed with green chilli, coriander, and basic seasonings, the batter turns into a flavourful, wholesome blend. Cooked with just 1 teaspoon of oil, the pancakes fit perfectly into a moderate-calorie diet plan.

• Neha recommends serving them with high‑protein yoghurt like Skyr, taking the nutritional profile up a notch while adding creaminess that pairs well with the crisp pancakes.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 60 g Besan
• 30 g Rice Flour
• 200 g Mixed Veggies (cabbage, carrots, spring onions, onion)
• 1 Green Chilli
• 2–3 tbsp Coriander
• Salt, Pepper, Chilli Flakes
• 1 tsp Oil
• Yoghurt/Skyr for serving

Vishesh Tippani: Neha's Expert Tips

• Neha shares a few simple but crucial tricks to perfect these pancakes.
• Salt the veggies first: This draws out natural moisture, reducing the need for extra water.
• Add flours just enough to bind: The batter should remain chunky, not runny.
• Add water only if required: Too much liquid will prevent crisp edges.

With these smart tips and nutrient-packed ingredients, Neha's Vegetable Pancakes are a must-try for anyone seeking a flavourful, healthy twist on everyday meals.
