Ingredients Serving: 2

Fresh Red Amaranth Leaves - 1 Cup chopped
Onion - 1 Medium chopped roughly
Green chili - 2 chopped fine
Sattu | Roasted Gram Flour - 4 tablespoon
Chickpea Flour | Besan - 2 tablespoon
Salt - to taste
Red Chili Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Water - for binding
Olive Oil - 2 tablespoon

Instructions

In a large bowl add chopped amaranth leaves, onion, green chilies, sattu, besan, salt, pepper powder, chili powder and mix well.
Rub the mixture with your fingers till the dry ingredients have incorporated well in the veggies.
Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. The amaranth leaves and onion will release juices and moisten the mixture.
Now add a little water at a time to make a thick batter. It should be just enough to bind the mixture properly.
Sattu can not bind on its own so we use a little besan for binding. Use more of sattu and less of besan always.
Heat a non stick pan and drizzle some olive oil on it.
Divide the mixture in 4-6 small size portions. Spread a small portion of batter and pat with your fingers to spread it like a pancake.
Repeat with other portions as well. Cook on low - medium heat till it crisps on one side then flip carefully.
Brown and crisp the other side too, pressing it gently with a slotted spatula.
Once both sides are nice and crisp, serve immediately with the dip or chutney of your choice. I had them with mint coriander mayo dip.
These pancakes have a lovely flavor of amaranth and sattu and are incredibly crisp so don't wait to dig in or they will become soggy.
