METHOD
1 For the curry mince filling: Heat the oil in a large pot and fry
the onions until soft and transparent.
2 Add the mince and fry until browned.
3 Add the potato, carrots and Curry Mince R/P.
4 Gradually add the water and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes or until
the potato and carrots are tender and the sauce has
thickened. Set aside.
5 For the pancakes: Sift the Master Sweet Batter R/P into the
milk, water and oil. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. Decant
into a pouring jug and allow to rest for ± 10 minutes.
6 Heat a pancake pan or non-stick pan on medium heat. Grease
with non-stick spray or lightly brush with oil.
7 Slowly pour ± 80 g (¼ cup) batter into the centre of the pan,
tilting the pan in a circular motion in order to coat the bottom of
the pan evenly.
8 Cook each pancake for 1 - 2 minutes or until the bottom just
starts to turn golden brown. Loosen the edges with a plastic
egg lifter or spatula and gently flip the pancake to cook the
other side. Make sure the pancake is flat against the pan with no
folds. Cook for ± 1 minute before sliding out of the pan. Repeat
the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan
between each pancake.
9 Fill each pancake with equal amounts of curry mince and fold
into triangles. Place into an oven proof serving dish.
10 Preheat an oven to 180°C.
11 For the white sauce: Mix together the milk and White Sauce R/P
in a large saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a
simmer, whisking continuously, until thickened. Remove from
the heat.
12 Pour the white sauce mixture over the filled pancakes and top
with cheese.
13 Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until warmed through and the
cheese has melted. Serve warm.
Chef’s Tip: Add a little more liquid to the pancake batter if needed.
Chef’s Tip: Make sure the carrots and potatoes are cut to a similar size for even cooking.
Chef’s Tip: Potato and carrots can be replaced with mixed vegetables.
