Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by prepping all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. Peel and grate the carrots, chop the onion, green chillies, and coriander leaves, and blanch the sweet corn. Whisk the curd (yogurt) and set it aside. -
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the whisked curd along with Del Monte Sandwich Spread. Mix these ingredients well until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Then, add the grated carrots, chopped onions, green chillies, and blanched corn. Season with salt and black pepper powder. Stir everything together until well combined. -
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents. -
Make the Pancake Batter:
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet carrot-mayo mixture, stirring gently. Mix until you achieve a thick, creamy pancake batter. The batter should be dense yet pourable. Stir in the chopped coriander leaves for added flavor and freshness. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. -
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a flat griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with salted butter. Pour a ladle full of the pancake batter onto the griddle, spreading it out to form a round shape. Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes until the underside is golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the pancake over using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until it is cooked through and golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed. -
Serve:
Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve them immediately while they’re warm. These pancakes are perfect as a wholesome breakfast or brunch, especially when paired with a bullseye on toast and a refreshing bowl of fruits. For an extra boost, enjoy with a cup of rich espresso coffee.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garam masala or chat masala to the batter for an aromatic kick.
- Customization: Feel free to add any other vegetables like finely chopped spinach, bell peppers, or peas for additional texture and flavor.
- Make it vegan: To make the recipe vegan, simply replace the eggs with flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water, and swap the yogurt with plant-based options like almond or coconut yogurt.
The Carrot Corn Mayo Pancake is not only a flavorful treat but also a nutritious choice that combines the richness of whole wheat flour with the freshness of vegetables. It’s quick to prepare and an excellent option for a fulfilling start to your day. The Del Monte Sandwich Spread adds a creamy, tangy twist that makes these pancakes hard to resist—making them the perfect dish to share with family or friends. Enjoy!
