Jabeez ~ Yemen Dish | Black Eyed Peas Pancake

Jabeez is a Yemen style savory pancake. It is filled with goodness of greens, flavor of cumin & perfectly spicy. The original version of this recipe added a egg to it, which I skipped & rest was the same. 
Jabeez can be served as a appetizer, snack or can be your scrumptious healthy dinner. Myself I made it for dinner & served it along with peanut chutney made south Indian style. It was so perfect & reminded us akki roti or Koyya roti we make with rice flour.

Adapted from here.
