Ingredients
  • 1½ cup black bean flour, I like bob mils brand
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon thick sour yogurt
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3½ cups water.
Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add the black bean flour, all purpose flour, yogurt, sesame seeds, salt and water.
  2. Whip it and mix well till you have not lumps. The batter should be of a crepe consistency. Little more watery than the dosa batter.
  3. Have a non stick pan or cast iron pan on medium heat. Let it pre heat.
  4. Add a large ladle full of the batter in the center, holding the handle twirl the pan around for the batter to spread evenly. Add a touch of olive oil or vegetable oil, cover it and cook for a minute. Open the lid and slowly turn and cook for another minute.
  5. Take out and serve it with chutney, sabzi or lentils.
Notes
You can substitute Whole wheat flour for All purpose flour.
You can add green chilies and ½ cup of grated carrot in the mix too.
If you have the batter thick, the crepe will not cook well in the middle, so make sure to have the batter a little watery.
Black Bean flour is nutty and requires less salt, so be cautious.
It's also an excellent ingredient for gluten-free baking. High in dietary fiber and a good source of iron, magnesium and phosphorus, this nutritious flour has a rich, earthy flavor. Black beans are low sodium, low fat and a great source of protein. Because of their iron and protein content, black beans are often recommended as an important part to a healthy vegetarian diet.
