Pudlas
Serve a stack of these savoury pancakes with a spicy pickle such as Geeta's Lime & Chilli, handmade in Surat and sold in most UK supermarkets.
500g besan (aka, chickpea or gram) flour
2 tsp ajwain seeds
1 tsp chilli powder
tsp black peppercorns, coarsely ground
tsp asafoetida
2 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 tomato, skinned, seeded and chopped
1 small onion, grated
250ml water
Salt
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
Sift the flour into a bowl, then add all the other ingredients except the oil and whisk to a smooth batter. Leave to rest for 30 minutes, then make the pudlas in a lightly oiled frying pan, as you would pancakes.
