These waffles with semolina will go down a treat with the whole family!

Easy to make and with the help of a waffle maker, you can have the crispiest waffles ready under 30 minutes.

I love waffles, as much as sweet ones like Vegan Oatmeal Waffles, these vegan Kothimbir Vadi Waffles are my favourite too. Whenever, there is a leftover Idli batter in the fridge I make this fluffy and delicious Waffle Idli Delights, and serve with spiced potatoes and green chutney.

Ingredients

1. Semolina - we have used a mix of fine and coarse semolina so that you get a delicious texture. However, if you only have one, then it is best to use fine semolina.

2. Chickpea flour - also called gram flour or besan. This is required to bind the waffles.

3. Natural yogurt - we have used full fat natural yogurt but you can also use low fat yogurt

4. Pumpkin & vegetables - we will need grated pumpkin. Use a box grater, mandolin or food processor to speed up the process. You also need green beans, red cabbage, white cabbage, sweet corn kernels

5. Green chilli & ginger

6. Turmeric powder

7. Baking soda - optional

8. Oil to spray waffle maker plates

Serving Suggestions

Semolina waffles are versatile. They can be eaten as they are, piping hot from the waffle maker or served with chutney, raita or other condiments!

If you are having these for breakfast, then finish with a health boosting mango kefir lassi to kick-start your day.

Try Gujarati Imli and Date Chutney or green coriander and mint chutney. Roasted Tomato Raita is a cooling alternative. For a totally different dish, eat alongside hot sambhar!

Storage

These waffles are best eaten immediately as they can loose their crispiness overtime. You can prepare the batter and store in the fridge to make the waffles at a later date.

You can store these waffles in the fridge and reheat in the grill or oven.

Freeze these waffles - allow to thaw by placing at room temperature and reheat in the grill or oven.

Vegan option

Use vegan yogurt such as soya yogurt.
