Vegan Curry Pancakes with Mango Chutney

I am off to a music festival today - Yarr!

Since I am going to be missing in action for the next four (or three, I'll be back on Sunday) days, I'll leave you with an awesome recipe for - curry pancakes, they're a treat ^ ^

Ingtrigued by the subtly sweetened curry pancakes over at June's blog, coinciding with having made too big a batch (my second, since I last posted it on my blog) of mango chutney the other day, I decided that now was the time to rattle a stack of these bad boys up, and for dinner no less!

And you know what? It was a good call! I made these sugar-free by using xylitol, but I am sure a bit of medium brown sugar will hurt you should you happen to not have xylitol, nor know where to get it (I bought mine in a local health shop). I was going to fry some red onion for these as well to get the whole sweet-spicy and tangy thing going on, but I was too hungry and too impatient! Plus, it didn't need it - simples!

Because the batter is vegan and thus there are no eggs in it, it should be a little thicker than the normal pancake batter I am used to (then again, back in Norway we make mainly crêpe-like pancakes....). In the original recipe, half a cup of coconut milk was used, I opted for almost a whole cup, but that all depends on how you like it. The recipe makes 4-5 little pancakes, I hope you like 'em!

PS. Sour cream might be a wonderful addition to this, I'm gonna have a few dollops of that on them next time!

Vegan Curry Pancakes with Mango Chutney
(Serves 1 and one only, unless you feel generous and aren't hangry)


60g (about half a cup) wholemeal flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 tbsp xylitol or brown sugar
2 tsp mild curry powder
1/2 - 1/3 cup coconut or soy milk (if you're not vegan, you can use normal milk)
1/2 tsp (apple cider) vinegar
1 tbsp coconut oil

To serve:
4-5 tbsp mango chutney (or more!)
Sour cream (omit if vegan)

- Start by having all the dry ingredients in a small baking bowl, and mix well to combine. Then, make a well in the middle and add your milk (start with half a cup), vinegar and coconut oil. Stir, stir, stir and add more milk or water should you want the batter a little thinner.

- Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat, and once it's hot, use two tablespoons of batter per pancake and spread out just a little bit. The first one might stick a little to the pan, but the following ones wont as much thanks to the oil in the mixture. Repeat until you run out of the mixture.


- Stack up a little tower or curry-goodness packed pancakes and spread a little mango chutney on top of each as you go along. Once done - you may devour aforementioned pancake tower, bon appetit!

    1. Awww thank you so much Rose! Adding a bit of spice to the pancake mixture helps making them a little special for sure :D As for how to add me to your watch list, you might have to go to your page, and on the side where the blogs you watch are click "add" if there is an option like that, and copy the home page: http://julesthenorweegie.blogspot.co.uk/ and then that might work? I hope so! I'll have a wee look into it :)

    1. Cheers Cathleen! It's easy to make pancake batter vegan from my experience, definitely make sure the batter is quite thick so they hold together well though :D I covered them with a lid before flipping them to make sure they cooked through properly ^ ^ Happy pancake-making! x

  4. Oi, for en utrolig spennende oppskrift! Jeg har aldri hørt om pannekaker med karri, men jeg kan faktisk tenke meg at deg er veldig godt. Spesielt med mango chutney, yum.
    håper du har kost deg på festival ♥

    1. Mmmm ja, dette kunne du laget deg nå når det går mot kaldere tider :) Det var veldig godt med karri i dem, ble liksom mer middagslige da (haha, er middagslig egentlig et ord? Er det nå iallefall ^ ^) Håper det står bra til frøken! Her går det på lite søvn etter festival, blir tidlig til sengs i dag :P x
