SERVES: 2 READY IN: 35 minutes
Ingredients
- 200g Co-op baby potatoes, quartered
- 2 tsp Co-op olive oil, plus extra for greasing
- ½ Co-op British cauliflower (about 250g), cut into small florets
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 30g ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 250g Co-op vine ripened tomatoes, chopped
- ½ x 25g pack coriander, chopped
- 70g Co-op plain flour
- 1 tsp turmeric
Method
- Start with the filling. Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/Gas 7.
- Toss the potato with 1 tsp of the oil and season.
- Roast for 10 mins, then stir in the cauliflower.
- Cook for 15 mins, until the veg is just tender and turning golden.
- Put the remaining oil in a saucepan on a medium heat and cook the onion for 5 mins, then add the garlic, ginger and garam masala, and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the tomato, along with 100ml water.
- Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins.
- Add the roasted veg, then cook, stirring, for 2 mins.
- Stir in most of the coriander and remove from the heat.
- To make the pancakes, mix the flour and turmeric in a large bowl, season, then gradually whisk in 200ml water, until you have a smooth, loose batter.
- Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, then set aside.
- Grease a nonstick frying pan with a little oil.
- Set the pan over a medium heat and pour in a quarter of the batter, tipping the pan so it covers the base evenly.
- Cook for 1-2 mins, until the surface looks almost dry, then flip and cook for a further minute, before transferring to the lined baking tray and keeping warm in the oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
- Divide the veg mixture between the pancakes and then fold over.
- Serve 2 pancakes per person, sprinkled with a little coriander.
