This month on Fit Body Fresh Mind, Award Winning Chef Jackie Kearney has created 7 Healthy Vegan Street Food recipes as part of the launch of her new book Healthy Vegan Street Foods.
Today I wanted to share with you her recipe for a chickpea pancake, with an easy chilli sauce that be used as a relish on lots of other dishes. This south Indian/Sri Lankan style pancake is lightly spiced, incredibly nutritious with a low GI, high in fibre and protein, and naturally gluten free. Batter will keep in fridge for 3 days.
You can mix up the vegetables to your own preference or whatever tender vegetables are in season (try pea and leek in Spring; courgette & tomato in Summer; and Winter spinach is great with mushrooms). Serve with a big dollop of coconut yoghurt and some raw chilli sauce. The pancakes can be eaten hot or cold, and make a great brunch or on-the-go snack too.
