curry pancakes are delicious, honest! used to buy frozen prawn curry to put inside but would like to make my own this time! of course, puddicats would never eat curry! ;-)

We do the savoury pancakes followed by the sweet ones too bubbles and I love it! I haven't had beef curry pancakes before but hey I say don't knock it until you've tried it!

If I was doing it I think I would make up a quick curry paste by blitzing together a couple of chillies, turmeric, ginger, coriander, cumin and a little oil (quantities depend on how much beef you have and how hot you like it).
Then I would heat oil in the pan and put the paste into the hot pan. Wait until you smell all the spices beginning to release their goodness before you add some sliced onions and your beef pieces. Let them get well coated in the spices and then add as much water as you want. Let it bubble away until the beef is heated through and the sauce is at your required consistency.

Blimey, I've just made myself hungry now!!
Good luck whatever you decide to do.

fgs...leave out the fruits & add chopped chilli

PS - Forgot to say that you can of course add apple or raisins. I would probably put them in just before you add the water.

PPS - You can use beef stock instead of water if you wish although when you use all the lovely spices I often feel that stock isn't necessary.
