Hungry are we? I hope so,
because this is another one of the Klutz in the Kitchens favourite comfort food recipes. It’s a stalwart in many a home and this is a modern, simple and easy update of this traditional South African recipe. Plain pancakes filled with minced beef flavoured with curry powder and apricot jam and chutney, so lekkerlisious it is that guests will be wanting more. I mean who doesn’t like pancakes? Raisins and chopped dried apricots are included in the recipe, the Klutz when making his version of the dish leaves them out because he feel it make the dish too sweet and he uses smooth apricot jam. We also use ready made pancakes as a timesaver. So now you ready to cook, have fun in the kitchen. Buon Appetitio!
