VEGETABLE WAFFLES

 When I make waffles  for breakfast , I make this savory version for myself. 


INGREDIENTS

1. 1 cup grated potato
2. 1/2 cup grated carrots 
3. 1/2 cup grated Zucchini squash or cauliflower rice or grated butternut squash
4. a small amount of very thinly sliced onions
5. chopped coriander leaves
6. 1/8 tsp each of garam masala and cumin powder
7. 1/2 tsp chili powder
8. 4 Tbsp oil
9. 1/4 cup chickpea flour(besan , kadalamav)
10. salt to taste

METHOD

• Take out and keep the waffle iron ready.
• In a wide bowl , put all the ingredients from 1 to 8. Using your hands gently mix it.
  
  
  
  

• Add chickpea flour , just enough , so that the grated vegetable starts to stick together. Add salt. Gently mix it using your hands.
  

• Heat the waffle iron on medium high until ready.       

      

           

          

• Using a spoon put a little batter in the center of the waffle iron. Using the spoon add more batter around the center.
  

  

  
  
  

  

  
  
  

  

• Close the iron and cook on medium-high heat for a minute . Then turn the knob to medium heat and cook for 3 minutes , turn the knob again to medium-high and cook for 2 minutes.

                                              

• The waffle will ready by now. Take it out using a spatula.

NOTES

• If the prepared waffle is not holding its shape after baking , add a little more flour(chickpea flour) , to the vegetable mix.
• If the batter is too thick try adding a little bit of water.
  
• Don't add a lot of flour. The flour is required just to bring the vegetables together. 
• Small waffles works best for me, rather than widespread ones. I have tried that and and bigger ones are not crispy and don't cook evenly.
