Cooking Method

For the pancakes:

  1. In a bowl, mix together the flour, Rajah Flavourful & Mild Curry Powder and a pinch of salt. Crack in the egg, then add the milk and sunflower oil. Whisk well until you have a smooth batter.

  2. Lightly grease a pan with some sunflower oil and place over a medium heat.

  3. Add a ladle of the pancake mix and swirl so it covers the base of the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds or until bubbles appear all over the surface, then flip over and cook for a further 30 seconds.

  4. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

For the lentil and spinach filling:

  1. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and tomato, and sauté for five minutes.

  2. Stir in the garlic, Rajah Flavourful & Mild Curry Powder and Robertsons Paprika. Cook for a further minute.

  3. Add the lentils and spinach along with a dash of water, and cook until the spinach has wilted and the liquid has evaporated. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

  4. Fill each pancake with the lentil mixture. Serve with dollops of sour cream and a garnish of fresh coriander.
