  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and add the diced spring onions with the cumin seeds, ground cumin and paprika. Cook for a few minutes before adding the grated carrots and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a further 5 minutes before transferring to a mixing bowl and leave to cool.

  • Add the milk, egg and butter liquid and mix to form a batter, like below:
  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick frying pan and place equal amounts of mixture to form your pancakes (about 1 cm thick) and cook on a low-medium heat for a few minutes (depending on the type of cooker/hob you have) until the bottom side is nice and golden.
  • Flip the pancakes around and cook the other side until golden. Make sure the pancakes are cooked through.
  • Enjoy – hot or cold! Remember all of this is to individual taste, so add whatever you like to the mix – it worked for me!
