Pancakes for breakfast are common, but what about pancakes made from Moringa Leaves? This can be the right choice for learning to like vegetables while also being able to meet daily nutritional needs.
At first glance, the moringa leaves have an unpleasant odor. However, in my experience so far, when cooked Moringa leaves do not have an unpleasant aroma. It will not disturb your appetite at all.
Moringa leaves are considered as miracle leaves. In the village community where I live, Moringa leaves are considered to be able to ward off evil spirits.
Behind The Recipe
The Green Pancakes recipe is actually inspired by Korean recipes, but they use Asian Chives as a natural coloring agent to produce a green color. Because I do not have Asian Chives stock, I thought of using Moringa leaves which have a lot of stock in my garden.
Another special thing is that this recipe is a vegan choice because it is free of eggs.
This recipe was the first time I made it, but the results were not bad. That's why I dare to share it with you.
Important Tips
You can replace Moringa Leaves with spinach or other green vegetables as natural dyes that have good nutrition.
If you feel that the dough is not well-formed during frying, then add enough purpose of flour until the mixture can be fried.
In this recipe, I only use starch from potatoes and the dough is good enough when fried using a non-stick pan.
So, let's start to see what are the ingredients and how to make Green Pancakes. If you prefer watching to reading, you can also watch my video on How to make Green Pancakes.

Final Notes
How to make this pancake recipe, in my opinion, is as simple as making other pancakes for breakfast, only with slightly different ingredients. What do you think? Do you agree with me?
Nutritious vegetables but less familiar ones like Moringa leaves can be enjoyed by combining them with other vegetables that are familiar to you. This is a fun thing to do and is worth trying in your kitchen.
