In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, turmeric powder, and salt.

💡 プロのコツ: Aim for a thin, even layer for crispiness.
6
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to crisp and bubbles appear on the surface.
7
Flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
8
Remove from skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
💡 プロのコツ: Keep cooked pancakes warm while preparing the rest.
