Drescription

Traditional North Indian pancakes, great for serving at Holi or Diwali as a sweet treat.

Ingredients

  • 200g/7oz plain flour
  • 160g/5¾oz caster sugar
  • 400ml/14fl oz full-fat milk, plus extra if needed
  • ½ tsp green cardamom powder
  • 1 tbsp golden raisins
  • ½ banana, mashed (optional)
  • vegetable oil, for deep-frying
  • vanilla ice cream

Directions

  1. Mix together all of the pancake ingredients in a large bowl to make a smooth batter, adding more milk if required. Set aside in the fridge for 2–3 hours to allow the flavours to develop.
  2. Pour the oil into a wok to the depth of around 5cm/2in and heat to medium–hot. Mix the batter with a spoon, then pour a little batter into the wok for each pancake, frying in small batches. Fry each pancake for 3–4 minutes until the edges are crisp and the middle of the pancakes are still soft. Turn the pancakes over halfway during the cooking process when the undersides are golden and crisp.
  3. Remove the pancakes using a slotted spoon, drain and allow to cool for a minute or so, then serve with scoops of ice cream.

Chicken turns this Greek-inspired salad into a substantial main course. Feel free to substitute other chopped fresh vegetables, such as broccoli or bell peppers, for the tomatoes or cucumber. Use leftover chicken, store-roasted chicken or quickly poach a couple boneless, skinless chicken breasts while you prepare the rest of the salad. Serve with pita bread and hummus.
