Today I am sharing a popular International breakfast dish – Pancakes. Here is a eggless whole wheat zucchini pancakes recipe for you. You can make a simple and easy pancakes without adding any veggies or fruits. Being vegetarian, I haven’t tasted any pancakes in any restaurant as they add eggs in pancake batter. So I decided to try at home. Usually pancakes are made with all purpose flour (maida) and it is unhealthy so I searched for soft, fluffy whole wheat egg free pancake recipe in google and I referred this site and  made few changes, added some grated zucchini to the batter to make it healthy. It tastes really great with maple syrup and butter. Do try this pancake recipe for breakfast to kids, I bet they will love them. Do not avoid baking powder which actually does the trick. For vegan version of pancake, add soy milk or almond milk in place of cow’s milk. Also check my eggless blueberry pancake recipe

QUINOA KUZHI PANIYARAM RECIPE / QUINOA RECIPES

quinoa kuzhi paniyaram recipe

Quinoa is considered as super food which is loaded with lots of antioxidants, protein , fiber, iron, vitamins and other minerals. This grain is getting more popular, has low glycemic index and it is gluten free. You can replace quinoa with rice, I know it is expensive but it has lot of health benefits like lowering cholesterol, good for digestion, lowers blood sugar level and cures heart diseases. Nowdays I am trying few recipes with quinoa. I already posted quinoa dosa few months back and I made quinoa biryani which I will post in coming weeks. Few weeks back, my mom made thinai paniyaram and said it came out good. I don’t get thinai (foxtail millet) in my place so I replaced with quinoa. The outcome was good and tasty.

Quinoa kuzhi paniyaram recipe (Quinoa Lentil balls) is a healthy and delicious gluten free and vegan breakfast recipe. Here I used red quinoa which I got from walmart. You can use any kind of quinoa. If you don’t get quinoa, replace it with thinai (foxtail millet). You can make even dosa with the same batter. In traditional kuzhi paniyaram, we add seasonings to the batter, but here I skipped that. If you want, you can add seasonings or grated carrots to the batter and make paniyaram. Make this quinoa paniyaram for breakfast or dinner or evening snacks for kids. Serve this paniyaram with coconut chutney or tomato chutney.
