Instructions
- Wash thoroughly cucumbers, and peel off the skin of the cucumbers before grating. After grating squeeze the water out of the cucumbers completely so the pancake does not become soggy.
- Now add all ingredients to the grated cucumbers. Mix well gently then add water for preparing the batter.
- Take precaution, the batter should be appropriate, not too much think or not to be so thin. Keep this batter for 10 minutes.
- On heated pan spread oil and pour batter same like spreading dosa on the pan and lightly oil on it. (same method as dosa making)
- Let the fritters cook well. You will see pores on top. Let it cook till they are nice and brown. Drizzle a little oil on top of the fritters and flip them over.
- Now, your cucumber pancake is ready to serve. Serve hot with tomato ketchup, yoghurt or green chutney.
Notes
1 - To avoid a bitter taste, it's good to peel off cucumbers skin and then grate the cucumbers.
2 - After grating squeeze the water out of the cucumbers completely so the pancake does not become soggy.
3 - You can add Semolina instead of rice flour gives this dish a crispy texture so you can reduce or increase the amount based on how crispy you want your pancakes.
3 - If you want to make a completely gluten-free Cucumber pancake then add rice flour and skip semolina.
4 - As cucumber tends to secrete water especially when mixed with salt. Some may secrete more than others hence add water depending as per need.
5 - You can even add some grated vegetables if you like to make it like a Vegetable pancake (Thalipeeth).
6 -You can experiment with the flavours as you like by adding any spice as you wish. You could also replace Cucumber with carrots, radish, bottle gourd, or Zucchini.
