Carrot pancakes with cumin and coriander
6 servings
50 minutes
Something in the set of ingredients seems vaguely familiar. Cumin, coriander, carrots, aromatic frying... Does it remind you of anything? Yes, this is the usual dressing for pilaf, also known as zirvak. Here it appears without any rice, and very successfully. Such pancakes can be served as an appetizer with a slice of lemon, yogurt or crumbled feta cheese. Or use as a side dish, for example, for stewed lamb.
