Introducing: Spicy Chickpea Pancakes with Avocado Cucumber Salsa

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe that’s perfect for a leisurely brunch or a quick and healthy lunch. The combination of spicy chickpea pancakes with refreshing avocado cucumber salsa is sure to tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

For this recipe, I was inspired by the vibrant colors and bold flavors of summer produce. The heat of the chickpea pancakes complements the coolness of the avocado cucumber salsa perfectly, creating a harmonious dish that is as visually appealing as it is delicious.

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

  • 200g chickpea flour
  • 5g ground cumin
  • 3g cayenne pepper
  • 5g salt
  • 300ml water
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cucumber
  • 100g cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Next, make sure you have the following kitchen tools on hand:

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • frying pan
  • spatula
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board

To prepare the spicy chickpea pancakes, simply combine the chickpea flour, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in the water until you have a smooth batter. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and ladle the batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp.

While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the avocado cucumber salsa. Dice the avocado, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Add the chopped red onion and cilantro. Squeeze the lime juice over the salsa and gently toss to combine.

Once the pancakes are done, serve them hot with a generous spoonful of avocado cucumber salsa on top. The contrasting textures and flavors will dance on your palate, creating a truly satisfying culinary experience.

This dish weighs approximately 850 grams in total, with 4 servings at around 212 grams each. One serving is roughly 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to add a splash of hot sauce to the avocado cucumber salsa for an extra kick of heat. It takes the dish to a whole new level of flavor and spice!

I encourage you to give this recipe a try and make it your own by experimenting with different toppings or additions. Have fun in the kitchen and enjoy the delicious results!
