COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES WITH INDIAN SPICES



Cottage Cheese Pancakes With Indian Spices image

We eat these Indian-spiced pancakes for dinner, along with a green salad. They don't even need a topping. If you do want to top them with something, a cucumber raita or plain yogurt would work well

Time 45m

Yield 16 to 18 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces (170 grams) cauliflower (florets only)
1 cup (250 grams) low-fat cottage cheese
3/4 cup low-fat milk (1 percent or 2 percent) milk
2 eggs, separated and at room temperature, plus 1 egg white
1 tablespoon flaxseeds, soaked in 3 tablespoons water for 5 minutes or longer
1 cup (140 grams) whole-wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 tablespoon nigella seeds
1 cup grated carrot (150 grams)
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
Butter or oil for cooking

Steps:

  • Place the cottage cheese in a sieve and drain for 15 minutes
  • Steam the cauliflower for 5 minutes, remove from the heat and chop fine. Set aside
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the cottage cheese, milk, egg yolks and flaxseeds with soaking water. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and garam masala. Stir in the nigella seeds
  • Combine the dry and wet ingredients and whisk together. Fold in the cauliflower, carrot and chives
  • Beat the egg whites to stiff but not dry peaks and gently fold into the batter
  • Heat a griddle or a large skillet, either nonstick or seasoned cast iron, over medium-high heat. Brush with butter or oil. Use a 1/4-cup ladle or cup measure to drop 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto your heated pan or griddle. These take longer to cook than regular all-flour pancakes, 4 to 5 minutes on the first side. Cook until they are brown on the edges and bubbles break through, then carefully slide a spatula underneath and flip them over. Cook on the other side until they are nicely browned. Serve hot

WHOLE WHEAT COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES



Whole Wheat Cottage Cheese Pancakes image

I love cottage cheese pancakes and wanted to make a version that was a bit healthier and that my toddler would also love. This was a hit! (at least the two times I've made it so far!) You can use oil in place of the applesauce, white flour in place of the whole wheat, and regular milk for the soy, for a less healthier but yummy version. These also freeze well which is great for feeding a toddler.

Whole Wheat (Cauliflower) Cottage Cheese Pancakes image

Light, fluffy cottage cheese pancakes with hidden cauliflower for some nutritional punch - my 5-year-old declared these 'the best pancakes ever!'

Provided by LaurenPretzel

Categories     Pancakes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
¾ cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
⅓ cup milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a blender and blend until smooth. Measure 1 cup pureed cauliflower and store any remaining in a container in the refrigerator for another use.
  • Stir 1 cup cauliflower puree and cottage cheese together in a large bowl until smooth. Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon into cauliflower mixture until batter is just mixed and thickened. Add eggs to batter until thoroughly mixed. Stir milk into batter, adding 1 tablespoon more at a time if needed, until batter is smooth.
  • Heat butter in a large frying pan over medium heat; drop heaping tablespoons batter into the melted butter. Cook until batter begins to bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook other side until browned, 3 to 4 more minutes. The inside of these pancakes will be softer than traditional pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh cauliflower. If you only have frozen cauliflower, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor makes it quick and easy to grate the cauliflower and cottage cheese. You can also use a box grater, but it will take a little longer.
  • Don't overcook the pancakes: Cook the pancakes over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: These pancakes are delicious served with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These whole wheat cauliflower cottage cheese pancakes are a healthy and delicious way to start your day. They are packed with nutrients, including fiber, protein, and vitamins.
