Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots , finely chopped
1 tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp turmeric
1 green chilli , deseeded and chopped into small pieces
1 tsp finely grated ginger
1 garlic clove , crushed
300g potatoes , chopped into small chunks
400g can green lentils , drained
4 pre-made pancakes
80g bag baby spinach
mango chutney , to serve (optional)
natural yogurt , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan over a low heat. Add the shallots, mustard seeds, turmeric, chilli, ginger and garlic, and cook gently until the shallots are soft. Add the potatoes and continue to cook slowly for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft.
  • Stir through the lentils, season and continue to cook for another 2-3 mins to warm them through. Pile a quarter of the mixture into each pancake and fold the sides in to make a triangle. Pop the spinach in the pan while it's still hot, just to wilt it, and serve on the side, with mango chutney and yogurt, if you like.
