✔️ Step 1: Grate the vegetables

Shred carrot, zucchini, and potato, letting them sit for 10 minutes to release moisture.

💡 Tip: Squeeze out excess liquid from potatoes for extra crispiness.

✔️ Step 2: Prepare the batter

Whisk eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

💡 Secret: Use cold milk for a lighter batter texture.

✔️ Step 3: Combine veggies with batter

Mix the grated vegetables with the batter and fold in green onions.

💡 Trick: Don’t overmix – it keeps pancakes fluffy.

✔️ Step 4: Heat the pan

Warm a non-stick skillet with olive oil over medium heat.

💡 Tip: A heavy-bottom pan ensures even cooking.

✔️ Step 5: Shape the pancakes

Scoop a portion of the mixture, spread into a circle in the pan.

💡 Secret: Keep them small for easier flipping.

✔️ Step 6: Fry until golden

Cook for about 3 minutes per side until edges are crisp.

💡 Tip: Don’t press them down – it keeps the middle fluffy.

✔️ Step 7: Flip carefully

Turn pancakes gently to keep them intact.

💡 Trick: Use a wide spatula for smooth flipping.

✔️ Step 8: Drain on paper towel

Remove from the pan and let rest briefly.

💡 Secret: This keeps them crunchy without excess oil.

✔️ Step 9: Serve hot

Arrange on a plate with dips or sauces of choice.

💡 Tip: Pair with sour cream or yoghurt dip for a classic touch.

✔️ Step 10: Enjoy

Serve immediately while still warm and crispy.
