INDIAN STYLE SPICY CARROT PANCAKE

Serving size - 1 or 2

Preparation time : 15 minutes

Cooking time : 15 minutes 

 

I used carrot and beans in this recipe. We can also try this with other veggies too. This is a main entree. We can serve it for breakfast or dinner. It is simple and quick recipe.I usually know only sweet pancakes. Even I searched carrot pancakes in the internet, it shows only sweet pancakes. I want to make different from sweet pancakes, so that I tried this recipe. It came out well. My friend's husband like this pancake very much.
