Savoury and spicy Indian pancakes

In the quest to reduce sugar and balance Kapha over the winter season - these quick spicy and savoury pancakes go down a treat and apart from the little oil used to toast them I'd say they’re pretty healthy and a great way to get some veggies into your diet. You could do them plain. I use chickpea and rice flour with some raising agents.
