Beetroot Savoury Pancake

Give your pancake a savoury twist with a combination of beautiful beetroot and gluten free oats flour. Beetroots are rich in fibre, potassium, iron and vitamins and makes a lovely base for a gluten- free savoury pancake. This recipe has been inspired from the beetroot Chilla recipe by Shilpa Shetty Kundra Beetroot Chilla Recipe. All the ingredients are the same but the measurements are different hence if you want a milder taste of the beetroot the chilla is the preferred go to recipe but in this savoury pancake the beetroot is the hero and heroine ingredient hence no hiding as the flavour is purely of the mildly sweet beetroot.

Heat a cast iron Appam pan* and grease it with oil. After the pan gets heated(grease it with oil and heat on high flame for 3 to 5 minutes and then lower the flame so that it acts as a non-stick pan) add a large spoon of the batter and spread just a little. Top it with some veggies and add half a teaspoon of oil around the batter and cover and cook.
