Curry Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine curry powder and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water; set aside.
• In a food processor, combine flour and salt. Turn processor on; slowly add curry-powder-water mixture. Process until dough comes together and is smooth and not tacky when pinched, about 30 seconds. Loosely cover with plastic wrap; let stand for 15 minutes.
• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Form dough into a 17-inch-long log and cut into 12 equal pieces; cover with plastic wrap so dough is not exposed to air. Place 1 piece of dough cut side down on a work surface, flatten slightly, and brush with sesame oil. Place another slightly flattened piece of dough on top of first; press together. Roll joined disks into a 6 1/2-inch-diameter circle less than 1/8 inch thick.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the double pancake and cook until light-golden speckles appear on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and gently pull pancakes apart. Transfer pancakes to a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat entire process with remaining dough. Wrap cooked pancakes in foil; place in oven to rewarm, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix warm water, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. Put flour in a large mixing bowl; work in 3 1/2 tablespoons ghee using your fingertips.
• Beat egg and 1 teaspoon water together in a bowl; add to flour mixture. Gradually mix warm water mixture into flour mixture while kneading until dough becomes soft and pliable. Form dough into balls and let rest in a well-oiled bowl, 2 to 3 hours.
• Working on a flat greased surface, take a dough ball and flatten it using the heel of your palm to make a paper-thin circle. Spread 1 teaspoon ghee inside it. Fold the edges together to make roti into a square. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon ghee on griddle or in a skillet over medium heat; cook roti until browned, 1 to 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Combine the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fennel seeds, and ginger in a small bowl. Stir well to blend.
• In a large sauté pan set over medium heat, heat the 1/4 cup oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized to a golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the spice mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to toast the spices. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the yams, flour, egg, and salt, and mix well to combine. Form the mixture into cakes that are about 3 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick, and put them on a baking sheet.
• Set a skillet over medium-low heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Working in batches, sauté the cakes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. They are done when they are a crispy golden brown and the sweet potato is cooked through.
• Serve warm, topped with the yogurt and scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Place 2 nonstick baking sheets in oven.
• In small saucepan, bring salted water to boil. Add peas and cook, uncovered, until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, then rinse in colander under cool, running water. Set aside in colander to drain completely.
• Using box grater or food processor fitted with grating disc, coarsely grate onion and place in colander set in sink. Coarsely grate potatoes, add to colander, and set aside to drain.
• In large mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs. Whisk in flour, coriander, turmeric, and cumin. Mix in ginger, cilantro, and peas.
• Press potatoes and onion to extract as much liquid as possible, then add to bowl. Season mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using wooden spoon or hands, mix well, but do not overwork.
• In heavy-bottomed, 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter until hot but not smoking. Drop 4 scant 1/4-cup portions of potato mixture into pan and flatten with spatula to form four 3-inch pancakes.
• Fry until bottoms are golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and fry until golden-brown and crisp, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season immediately with salt and pepper. Keep warm on baking sheets in oven while making remaining pancakes.
• Using paper towels, carefully wipe out pan. And 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter and fry 4 more pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping out pan and adding 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter before each batch.
• Serve pancakes hot with Curry-Lime Yogurt.

• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the double pancake and cook until light-golden speckles appear on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and gently pull pancakes apart. Transfer pancakes to a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat entire process with remaining dough.
