Cottage Cheese And Cauliflower Pancakes With Indian Spices Recipes

COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES WITH INDIAN SPICES

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

CRISPY, SPICY CAULIFLOWER PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with coconut oil.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until cauliflower is slightly translucent and garlic and onions are soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a bowl and let cool.
• Place cottage cheese, egg whites, hot sauce, parsley, oregano, and garlic powder in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour into the bowl of cauliflower mixture; mix completely. Spoon mixture evenly into the greased muffin cups and press down so pancakes are even and flat.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges and tops are golden and crispy, about 30 minutes.

WHOLE WHEAT (CAULIFLOWER) COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES

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.
