Frequently asked questions

How long do Golden Chickpea Pancakes with Herbed Avocado Mash take?

About 35 minutes: 10 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of cooking. Most of the cooking time is spent making the pancakes one at a time in the pan.

Are Golden Chickpea Pancakes with Herbed Avocado Mash vegetarian?

Yes, they are vegetarian. The pancakes are made from gram flour, water, turmeric and cumin, then topped with avocado mashed with lemon juice and coriander, plus halved cherry tomatoes.

How do I stop chickpea flour pancakes sticking or breaking?

Heat the pan well, grease it lightly and wait until bubbles form and the edges set before flipping. Spreading the batter thinly also helps them cook through and turn cleanly.

What can I use instead of cherry tomatoes as a topping?

Swap them for diced vine tomatoes, sliced radishes or a few pickled red onions. Anything fresh and slightly sharp cuts through the creamy avocado mash.

Can I make the gram flour batter ahead?

Yes, whisk the batter and keep it covered in the fridge for up to a day, then stir and loosen with a splash of water before cooking. Make the avocado mash fresh, as it browns on standing.
