Instructions
 

METHOD

  • Cut the broccoli into small florets. Lightly steam or simmer in a small amount of water until just tender. Drain well and set aside to cool.
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled broccoli, corn, onion, garlic, and parsley.
    In a separate bowl, sift together the besan flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Add the turmeric, vegeta, and yeast flakes, then mix well.
    Mix egg replacer with a little water then add to the vegetables.
    Next add the dry ingredients to the vegetables and gently fold to combine.
    Gradually add the chilled water, mixing gently until a thick batter forms (similar to pancake batter). Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add a little oil and swirl to coat the pan. 
    Drop tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and gently flatten with the back of a spoon, make sure not to over crowd the pan.
    Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
    Remove and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
