Besan Waffles

post-title

"Besan waffles," which are waffles made using besan (gram flour) instead of the traditional waffle batter. Here's a simple recipe for besan waffles:

 

Ingredients:

 

1 cup besan (gram flour)

1/4 cup yogurt (plain)

 1/4 cup spinach puree

1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional, for color)

Salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)

1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)

1/2 teaspoon garam masala or chaat masala (optional, for flavor)

1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves (optional)

Cooking spray or oil for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions:

 

Start by preheating your waffle iron according to its instructions.

 

In a mixing bowl, combine the besan, yogurt, water, baking powder, turmeric powder (if using), and salt. Mix well to form a smooth batter. Adjust the water quantity to achieve the desired waffle batter consistency.

 

Add the cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala or chaat masala (if using), and chopped coriander leaves (if using) to the batter. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

 

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

 

Pour the besan waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron. The amount of batter you'll need will depend on the size of your waffle iron.

 

Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for 4-6 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

 

Carefully remove the besan waffles from the iron using a fork or tongs.

 

Serve the besan waffles hot with your favorite chutney, yogurt, or a drizzle of oil. You can also enjoy them with some sliced vegetables or a side salad.

 

These besan waffles have a unique and savory flavor profile, making them a great option for a hearty breakfast or brunch. Feel free to customize the seasoning and add your favorite herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.
