Healthy vegetable pancake

Ingredients

onion  2 either finely chopped/ grated
carrot 2 grated
chopped spinach 1 cupful
wheat flour 2-3 cups
salt to taste
chilli pdr. or green chillies finely cut to taste
fresh Coriander leaves finely chopped 2 tbsp
ajwain/carom seeds 1/2 tsp
oil little for shallow frying
hing little

Method
mix the vegetables, with flour, salt, chillies/chilli pdr, hing, ajwain well.
then add enough water to make a batter, which shouldn't be too thick/ thin.
heat a pan/ tawa, once hot, smear little oil, make as thin pancake as possible
put little oil all around, once well done, turn over & cook till it gets little crisp/ brown.
serve hot with any chutney of your choice.

ps- this makes a complete meal, very healthy, as it has enough fibre, carbohydrates, vitamins, fat to give you enough calories to work through the day. It is very filling.
spinach has iron, when combined with green chillies & coriander, helps to absorb the iron from it.
carrot has Vitamin A, good for the eyes.
ajwain/carom seeds are good for digestion.
