Ingredients -

1. 1 organic sweet potato and 1 organic yellow potato
2. 1 bunch organic green onions
​3. 1 organic red onion
4. 1 organic red bell pepper
5. Ginger and garlic - per taste or if using paste - 1 big tablespoon
6. 2 green chilies
7. Organic cilantro - 1 whole bunch

Spices & Oils - 

1. Organic coconut oil
2. SMOKED red paprika - 1/2 Teaspoon
3. Cayenne - 1 Teaspoon
4. Red chili paste (optional) - add at end to spice it up more
5. Black pepper - 1 Tablespoon
6. Organic sea salt - per taste or start with 1 teaspoon, mix into batter and taste. 

*For spices, always add less and adjust later; you can't take out the spices when they are added but can always add more later on. 

Flours -

1. Brown rice flour - 5-6 Tablespoons
2. Organic milled flax seed flour (4 Tablespoons)

*For flours - add both and mix; let the batter sit for sometime so the flax seeds will bind better. Do not mix any water as veggies have enough in them. If the batter is lose, add little bit more of flax seeds powder and mix again. Adjust. 

Simple steps -

1. Chop veggies (or even better, to save time - throw all veggies in the food processor) and add flours and spices - mix all. If batter too thin, add little more of flax seeds or brown rice. 

2. Once your batter is ready, store it in the fridge for good 20 mins before making it into patties. This will also allow it to firm up and the flavors to mix even more.

3. In ceramic pan, on medium-low, add organic coconut oil and start frying the pancakes. Flip on both sides once browned. Serve with sauce of choice - Enjoy!

More optional veggies -

1. You can add - cauliflower, spinach, corn, green bell pepper, green peas, green beans, carrots, swiss chard, rutabagas.
