Instructions
Prep
Chop lots of ginger, some green chilies, and finely chop fresh spinach.
In a large bowl, add besan (chickpea flour).
To the besan, add spinach, ginger, and green chilies.
Add all the spices - coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, carom seeds (ajwain), and salt. Mix.
Add water (1 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp). Start with 1 ¾ cups and add a little more if needed. The batter should be slightly runny.
This is what you should have.
Cook
Heat up a castiron skillet over low-medium heat. Let it heat up for about 5 minutes. Once hot, spray avocado oil.
Using a ⅓ cup measurement, pour the batter on your castiron skillet. Gently spread out the batter.
Once bubbles form on top about 45 seconds later, drizzle a ¼ teaspoon of oil over the top. You don't need more than a ¼ teaspoon of oil.
Flip.
This is what you should have. Cook on the other side for about 2 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with cilantro chutney and Ching's red chili sauce.
