aloo aur besan ka nasta recipe | aloo besan snacks | potato chickpea pancake recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. an interesting and tasty healthy snack recipe made with a combination of potatoes and chickpeas. it is a perfect meal combo recipe which is not just limited for morning breakfast but can also be served for lunch, dinner and even as snacks. the recipe contains all the required spice and flavour in it and does not need anything particular for sides, but tastes great with tomato ketchup or green chutney.
i have posted a lot of recipes on the vegetarian omelette version using basic veggies and ingredients. this was super liked my most of my readers and hence i thought of continuing the same tradition and post a simple and healthy chickpea and potato-based omelette like a recipe. my previous attempts with a similar way of cooking and presenting were with moong dal and semolina. hence this time i thought of using besan or chickpea flour with boiled potato grate. with texture and consistency, it is similar to gujurati dhokla, but with the seasoning and potato grate, it offers different taste and flavour. i personally make this with leftover dhokla batter and make it for my evening lite snacks. especially the when served with spicy green chutney or with tomato ketchup, it tastes pure heaven. do let us know if you had a similar experience with this recipe?
furthermore, i would also like to highlight some more tips, suggestions and variations to the aloo aur besan ka nasta recipe. firstly, adding potatoes to this recipe is not mandatory but adds a lot of flavour to it. in addition, it also, makes it very filling and hence i would heavily recommend to use it. secondly, i have tried this recipe in a shallow pan like a pancake. you may also use idli steamer or dhokla steamer to prepare it. lastly, you may follow the same procedure with other ingredients like wheat flour, plain flour, rava and also bajra flour. my personal favourite is besan or semolina or a combination of both.
finally, i request you to check my other breakfast recipes collection with this post of aloo aur besan ka nasta recipe. it mainly includes my other types of breakfast variations like chutney s without coconut for idli & dosa, bombay sandwich, moong dal puri, cucumber idli, paneer toast, poori, upvas dosa, suji ka nashta, idli dhokla, instant breakfast mix. further to these i would also like to mention my other related recipe categories like,
