Instructions

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cumin, and coriander until well combined.
- Add the beaten egg and milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the bok choy and carrot mixture. Fold gently until all ingredients are well combined, but be careful not to overmix.
- Heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the batter.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between pancakes.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
