Ingredients
250 grams low fat Ricotta cheese
1/3 cup spring onion green leaves (chopped)
½ cup finely chopped spinach leaves
2 eggs, separated
1 green Chilli (finely chopped)
1/3 cup rice flour
Salt to taste
¾ tsp chilli flakes
Spray oil to cook pancakes
Method
1: Drain any excess water from the ricotta by keeping it in a strainer lined with cheese cloth or muslin cloth.
2: Transfer the drained cheese in a mixing bowl and whisk with a spatula until smooth.
3: Add the spring onions, egg yolks, green chillies, rice flour, salt, chilli flakes and spinach leaves and mix them in well.
4: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks are formed. Fold in half of the egg whites to the cheese mix and then add the rest of the egg whites.
5: Spray a non-stick pan with oil and add 2-3 tablespoon of cheese batter. Spread it a little with the back of a spoon and cook till the bottom begins to turn brownish and then flip and cook the other side in a similar way.
6: Remove from heat and serve with your favourite relish.
