- Boil the potatoes for 5-6 mins until just tender; drain and set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan over a low-medium heat and fry the onion for 3 mins. Add the tikka paste and cook, stirring, for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Stir through the potatoes, spinach and 4 tbsp of water and cook for 2 mins. Stir through the tomatoes, cover and cook for 5 mins until glossy. Set aside, covered.
- Shake the pancake shaker mix to loosen. Add the spices and flour, pour in 325ml cold water, replace the cap and shake until smooth.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and brush with ½ tbsp oil. Pour in enough batter to form a thin pancake. Cook for 30 secs-1 min until it moves freely. Flip, then cook for 30 secs-1 min until golden. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 pancakes.
