🧂 食材
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp Melted butter
- 1.33 cups Milk
- 1 can (approx. 185g) Tuna (canned, drained)
- 0.5 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 sprig Curry leaves, finely chopped
- 0.25 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.25 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
- as needed Oil for frying
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the sugar.
💡 专业技巧: Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smooth batter without lumps. - 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla essence, melted butter, and milk until well combined.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure the butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg. - 3
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the drained tuna, finely chopped onion, chopped curry leaves, turmeric powder, and chili flakes (if using). Mix until just combined.
💡 专业技巧: Do not overmix the batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, as this can lead to tough pancakes. - 4
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
💡 专业技巧: A medium heat ensures the pancakes cook through without burning. - 5
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface of the pancake.
💡 专业技巧: The edges should look slightly crispy when they are ready to be flipped. - 6
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
💡 专业技巧: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the batch. - 7
Serve hot, either on their own or with a side of tea.
💡 专业技巧: These are delicious served as a snack or a light breakfast.
💡 专业技巧
- ✓For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili flakes or add a finely chopped green chili.
- ✓Ensure the tuna is well-drained to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
- ✓If you don't have fresh curry leaves, you can omit them or use a pinch of curry powder for a similar aromatic note.
