Moong Bean Pancakes

MAKES 4-5 PANCAKES

INGREDIENTS:
• 1 cup Organic Moong Beans
• 1 cup Spinach
• 1/2 teaspoon Organic Cumin Powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon Organic Coriander Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Organic Turmeric Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Organic Himalayan Pink Salt
• Pinch of ground Black Pepper
• 2 teaspoons Ghee
• 1 to 1.5 cups of water

HOW TO PREPARE:

1. Drain and rinse soaked Moong Beans a few times. Add soaked beans into a food processor or power blender. Follow with rest of the ingredients except Ghee and blend to a fine paste.
2. Start by adding 1 cup of water and check the consistency. The consistency of the liquid should be similar to pancake batter.
3. Heat a non-stick pan at medium heat. Make sure the pan is hot enough by pouring a drop of water. If water hits the pan with a sizzle and the drop starts jumping, the pan is ready. Pour 1/2 tsp of Ghee.
4. Pour about a half cup of Moong Bean batter into the pan and swirl it around lightly to make a small pancake that's 3-4 inches in diameter. The thickness of the pancake should be of a crepe.
5. Once the edges become brown, flip and let cook on the other side. Serve hot.
6. Add more ghee for a richer flavor and/or your favorite cooked vegetable(s), fold and enjoy it as a crepe.
