The New Stuff

Egg dosa / chickpea flour pancakes


Once upon a time there was half a cup of chick pea flour. It was also known by the hindi name of besan. It fell into a mixing bowl.


It asked one cup of water and one level teaspoon of salt  to join in.Then the whisk went whrrr whrrr and they  mixed well and rested  happily in one corner of the kitchen for half an hour.


Four eggs hopped in and the whisk again went whrrr whrrr. 




Then two onions , quarter  cup of coriander leaves, one green chilly and one  inch piece ginger chopped themselves very fine and joined the rest of the gang in the mixing bowl.





Then came a non stick pan with a tablespoon of oil and invited a 
ladle ful of the batter to fall into it.




The pan swirled and the batter spread into a delicious looking pan cake or egg dosa if you care to call it by the original desi name. Another tablespoon of oil went into the pan to make it tastier.


Then it flipped onto the other side to get cooked on both the sides.


It jumped onto a plate and was joined in by a coriander chutney and some tomato ketchup.


Then it got gobbled up by two hungry and naughty children.
