Carrot sesame pancake

This one is easy to make, delicious in taste, full of healthy nutrition and especially beneficial to those who require iron rich foods. What's more, it doesn't need a plethora of ingredients.

Ingredients:
2-3 medium sized carrots
3-4 medium sized scallions ( spring onions)
2 cloves of garlic
a small piece of ginger
1-2 green chillies
2 spoonful of sesame seeds
half a cup yogurt
half a cup coarse/fine semolina
salt as per taste
oil for shallow frying

Preparation:
Grate the carrots and finely chop the scallions.
Dry roast the sesame seeds till golden brown.
Crush ginger and garlic or use the ready made ginger garlic paste.
Fine chop the chillies

Method:
Mix the grated carrots, scallions, ginger garlic paste, chillies, and the sesame seeds. Add salt, yogurt and semolina and mix well together to form a thick batter. It should be thick but understandably neither runny nor clumpy. Add a little water if required to make it smooth. keep aside for 15 minutes for the semolina to fluff up.

Heat a nonstick pan and make a pan cake like uttapam is made.

Serve with tabasco or green chutney or any other sauce of your choice.
