So this post was inspired by one of your co-readers. Thank You Lynnette! She wrote and told me that one of her favorite pancake additions was the Indian spice, garam masala. Num-num! I love Indian food and thought this would be a fun thing to try. So not wrong.
Lynnette said that she serves her with syrup or jam, but I wanted to try something new so made a spiced fruit chutney to go with it because it just seemed to be a good match.
Garam Masala Pancakes with Apple-Mango Chutney
apple-mango chutney
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1 mango, peeled and chopped
1-1/2 Gala or Jazz apples, pared, cored and chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1-1/2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
seeds from 2 cardamon pods, crushed
1/8 tsp ground cloves
You can rough chop the mangos...because you may have no other choice. If anyone knows how to neatly cut up mango, let me know.
Remove from heat and place in non-metal container. Serve at any temperature.
garam masala pancakes
2 cups pancake mix
1-1/2 cups water
1 tsp garam masala
Mix ingredients in a bowl until well blended.
Pre-heat a skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/3 cup batter per pancake. Once they start to bubble, flip until other side is golden brown.
Top with chutney and a drizzle of your favorite syrup and enjoy.
NOTES
Of course, after my disclaimer of last post, I actually made beautiful rounded, lightly browned pancakes and totally forgot to take process photos, so that you don't think I made this up here's the full meal photo and look at my pretty pancakes!
I used Jazz apples, but you could use another sweet firm apple. Granny Smith would be too tart and you want something less mealy than Golden or Red Delicious.
FYI, one individual serving box of raisins = 1/2 cup.
