Method

  1. To make the dressing, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and cook the curry leaves and mustard seeds for 1 min. Stir in the chilli, turmeric and ginger, then cook on a low heat for 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Stir the cooled spice mix into the whipped yogurt along with the honey, then chill until you are ready to serve the meal. Can be made a day ahead.
  2. To make the pancakes, combine all the ingredients, except the oil, with 200ml cold water and a pinch of salt. Mix until a thick batter is formed. Can be prepared several hours in advance and chilled.
  3. About 15 mins before you want to serve the pancakes, heat a large non-stick frying pan and add 1 tbsp oil. When the oil is hot, place a few tbsp of the mixture in the pan to form a round pancake about 1-1.5cm thick. You can cook 2 or 3 at a time and keep them warm in a low oven while you make the rest. Cook for 2-3 mins until golden brown, then flip over and cook the other side until browned. You should make 8 pancakes in total. Serve the pancakes with the honey and mustard dressing and the Curried chickpeas (see 'Goes well with') if you like.

Curry leaves

Curry leaves can be bought fresh from Indian shops, or dried from some supermarkets. They freeze very well.

    Excellent recipe, really easy and tasty too. I coloured the pancakes both sides in advance, then finished off in the oven. This made it a really easy dinner party starter, with no last minute frying!

    Cooked on my griddle out doors followed most of cooking instructions , mix seemed very stiff & not like batter. Cooked 4" pancakes at varing times and heats.! Taste was very stodgy, saved only by the very tasty honey & mustard sauce.

    Couldn't be bothered finding curry leaves or mustard seeds - a generous spoon of wholegrain mustard did the trick. Delicious!
