Savory Kalo Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pre-cooked, thawed, and mashed Kalo (taro)
- 1 large egg (or replacement)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free flour blend)
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (or other herbs/seasonings)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, or chili flakes for extra flavor
- 2-3 tbsp cooking oil (for frying)
Directions:
- Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed kalo, egg, flour, green onions, salt/pepper, and any optional seasonings.
- Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick but scoopable.
- Heat the oil: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake into the skillet, flattening each one slightly with the back of a spoon to form small patties.
- Fry until golden: Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Drain and serve: Remove pancakes from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- Serve warm: These are delicious as they are, but you can also serve them with a dipping sauce, like soy sauce with a dash of rice vinegar and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
