Savory Zucchini Crepes – delicious and easy crepes using shredded zucchini, rice flour and sooji (cream of wheat). Perfect for easy breakfast, brunches or even lunch. Healthy Zucchini Chilla – Dosa

I’m always on the lookout to make easy, healthy but tasty recipes and because of spring, we are so blessed to have a beautiful variety of veggies and fruits.

My absolute favorite this season is ‘Zucchini‘ – I mean the possibilities are endless.

Now zucchini being a neutral taste veggie, it easily blends with any kind of food…savory or sweet.

We have made muffins, bread, stir fry’s, french toasts and do many dishes with it….But have you heard of Zucchini Crepes.

Zucchini Crepes Ingredients:

2 Medium Zucchini – Thinly Grated
1 Tbsp Grated Ginger
3 Tbsp Rice Flour
2 Tbsp Cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 Cup Semolina
1/2 Cup Plain Yogurt
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp Black Pepper Powder
1 Tsp Salt – As per taste
1/2 Cup Water
1 Cup Canola Oil – For Frying. (You may use any flavorless oil of choice)

It blends perfectly with the batter, adds so much body or texture to it and gives it an awesome taste.

It’s also a great way to introduce it to kids (If you peel the skin and grate, kids won’t even know what’s in the crepes).

So I recently made these zucchini crepes with a healthy mix of flour and they were a hit with family and friends.

I feel crepes is a great way to use those leftover veggies (like 1 carrot or 1 small squash….I mean anything that’s 1-2 in quantity).

The batter is a mix of brown rice flour (made at home in my coffee grinder), whole wheat, sooji (cream of wheat) (which is soo good for the tummy), yogurt and water.

Mix in the grated zucchini along with some ginger (they both taste great together) and boom – You have a healthy, scrumptious and filling crepe ready.

As mentioned above, these Zucchini Crepes can be used for breakfast or brunch and you can serve it with steamed veggies along with drink as meal.

I really hope you try this fun and easy recipe ….while I think of another healthy fun recipe idea.

How to Make Zucchini Crepes – Zucchini Chilla:

Prepare the Zucchini Crepes Batter:

In a large bowl, mix all the flour and seasoning together.
Add yogurt, water and make a thick smooth batter (pancake style).
Now add the grated zucchini, ginger and whisk everything together. (if the batter becomes thick, add 2-3 tbsp of water).

Make the Zucchini Crepe

Heat the nonstick for a minute with 1/2 tsp of oil.
Pour 11/2 ladle of batter on the nonstick and swirl the batter (expand) using the ladle.
Let it cook on medium heat for about a minute.
Flip the crepe gently on the other side and let it cook for another minute (a minute for lightly cooked soft crepes and two minutes for crispy crepes)
Transfer the soft cooked crepes to serving dish and follow the steps above to make all the crepes.
You can stack them (open face) all together or serve in individual plate.
