Low-Glycemic Vegan Pancakes and Breading

Get a hold of some low-glycemic chick pea (garbanzo bean glycemic index: 28, which is considered quite low) flour.  Also called Besan, this is usually available in health food shops and in stores selling Indian food.  This is so damn easy:

• Any amount of garbanzo bean flour
• Water
• Sea salt

Add enough water to the garbanzo flour and salt (add to your taste) to make a pancake batter-like consistency (meaning it should be a little firm, but easy-flowing enough to form a flat, round disc when poured into a frying pan).  Add your choice or combination of:

• Herbs (cumin, cilantro, coriander, cayenne, etc.)
• Veggies (chopped finely)
• Oils (olive, etc.)
• Meats (use less water for batter, some salt and the right herbs and it makes a great "breading" for fried chicken, etc.)

Pour some batter into a well-heated frying pan on medium heat.  Cook first side until you can see slight browning on the edges.  Flip and serve with a main dish, or as a main dish.
