These avocado and carrot savoury pancakes recipe is from many years ago. It is another of the recipes that I managed to salvage from ‘the notebook’. And today being ‘pancake day’ here in the UK, it seems to be the perfect time to cast the spotlight on these beauties.
Pancakes are usually reserved for our weekend breakfasts. The ones that we all love the most are whole wheat and banana ones, lightly spiced with cinnamon and served with a drizzle of honey.
But, occasionally, on other days of the week, I also make some savoury ones which we like to have, not for breakfast, but with some light soup (usually dal), and make a light meal out of them. Huh? Pancakes for dinner?!!! Well, why not!
The pancakes that I make are almost always the crepe like the English ones where the batter is spread out to make them thinner. However, for the following avocado infused pancakes, I kept the sizes smaller and slightly thicker, compared to the ones I usually make, as they proved to be quite tricky to turn over. These pancakes would also form a nice breakfast, or a snack, on their own.
Serving suggestion-
We had our carrot and avocado pancakes with some dal (red lentil soup) and some mixed pickle.

- 2 and 1/2 C of plain whole wheat flour (atta)
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1 tsp salt

- 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.
