This was pretty good, but EXTREMELY salty with 1 tsp of salt. So next time I think I will cut the salt in half or even make it 1/3 the recommended amount. Also, needs a little more of a kick, like more chilis... but overall it made a tasty pancake that went well with a thin curry sauce that could soak into the cake. Beautiful colour too.
