Topped with a mild Indian spiced chicken mince, crispy cabbage salad and finished with minty yoghurt. A sneaky shortcut to a restaurant quality dinner!

This recipe is Gluten-free.

Make this recipe Vegetarian / Vegan: 


Substitute chicken mince for 2 x 400g chickpeas (up the garam masala to 1 tbsp and lightly mash when cooking). Substitute natural yoghurt for coconut yoghurt.

METHOD:

1. Dress the cabbage with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp vinegar (optional). Slice cucumber and tomatoes. 
Place all at the table for serving.

2. Chop mint leaves to yield 2-3 tbsp, combine with yoghurt and season with salt and pepper to taste (blend if you prefer a smooth texture).

3. Whisk to combine the contents of the Onion Bhaji Mix with coconut milk and 1 cup water. Slice and add spring onions.

4. Heat a large frypan with oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken mince, tomato paste, 2 tsp garam masala, salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon. Set aside in a serving bowl, wipe the pan and keep over medium-high heat.

5. Add 1 tbsp oil to frypan. Add 3/4 cup batter mix into the pan to cook. Flip after 2-3 minutes. Repeat to make 4-6 pancakes (make the pancake smaller than the base of the pan, then it’s easy to flip!)

6. Take everything to the table and assemble each pancake topped with spiced chicken, prepared vegetables and dollops of minty yoghurt.
