-
Toss the cauliflower and potatoes in the vegetable oil and coat in the curry powder. Season and spread out on a baking tray. Cook in a preheated oven at 190C for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until the potatoes are golden and just tender.
-
To make the batter, combine the plain flour and turmeric with 175ml of water and the coconut milk drink and mix well. Season and set aside while you heat one teaspoon of oil in a frying pan. Toss in the onions and sauté gently for 10-15 minutes until softened and starting to colour.
-
Add the Brussels sprouts, garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring regularly. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and 75ml of water and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Stir the garam masala and roasted vegetables into the sauce, season with salt and lemon juice, and keep warm.
-
In a small frying pan, grease with a little oil. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and swirl around so it covers the base thinly and evenly.
-
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is crisp and the pancake moves freely when shaking the pan. Flip and cook for 1 minute before transferring to a plate. Keep warm and repeat to make three more pancakes with the remaining batter.
-
To serve, fill each pancake with the roasted potatoes and cauliflower and scatter over some fresh coriander. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with mango chutney on the side.
