1In a mixing bowl, combine the besan, shredded cabbage, chopped onions, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, and salt.
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously, until you achieve a smooth batter consistency.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil to grease the surface.
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it evenly to form a pancake.
Cook the pancake on medium heat until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown.
Flip the pancake and cook the other side until it is also golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Serve the spicy cabbage besan pancakes hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
