- 2 fresh chillies, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 teaspoons tapioca flour + 2 teaspoons water

- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Method:
- To make the turmeric pancake batter, combine rice flour, turmeric powder, coconut cream and water. Whisk together and set aside to rest.
- To make the sweet chilli sauce, add water, vinegar, coconut sugar, tamari and beetroot powder (if you're using this) to a small pot, and bring to a gentle simmer. Then add the chopped garlic and chilli, whilst whisking to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to let flavours infuse.
- Mix together tapioca flour and water in a small dish and add to sauce to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Prepare veggies and arrange on a plate ready for serving.
- Heat a medium sized pan on high heat, once smoking hot, add coconut oil and pour in a ¼ cup of the pancake mix, swirling the pan to cover the entire base. Small bubbles will appear and create a lace-like appearance. Once pancake is cooked on top and crispy on the bottom slide onto a plate then repeat with remaining pancake mix.
- To serve, fill the turmeric pancake with a selection of fresh veggies, sauerkraut and a sprinkle of activated seed mix. Finish with a generous drizzle of sweet chilli sauce.
