Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan. Add the onion. Reduce to a low heat. Cook for approx. 5 mins, until softened.

Step 2

Add the garlic, peas, curry paste, zucchini, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir over a medium heat for approx. 2 mins, until fully coated in the curry paste. Simmer over a low heat while you make the pancakes.

Step 3

Sift the chickpea flour into a bowl. Add 220ml water and the black onion seeds. Whisk to combine, then season.

Step 4

Grease a frying pan with a little oil. Add a ladle of batter to the frying pan. Cook the pancake for approx. 1-2 mins, until small bubbles begin to form on the surface. Carefully turn over and repeat on the other side, until golden brown. Repeat until you have 4 pancakes.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the pan, a handful at a time. Stir for approx. 3-4 mins, until wilted.

Step 6

Divide the pancakes between two plates. Fill with the spiced mixture.
