Coconut Prawns Pancakes with Fresh Herbs

These vibrant coconut prawn pancakes offer a sophisticated take on a savoury brunch or light dinner. Using chickpea flour and creamy coconut milk, the batter is naturally dairy-free and gluten-free, providing a crisp texture and a beautiful golden hue thanks to the addition of ground turmeric. The combination of salty bacon and juicy prawns creates a deeply satisfying filling that pairs perfectly with the fragrant, earthy base.

This simple dairy-free dish is packed with protein and serves as a wonderful alternative to traditional pancakes. Finished with a refreshing hit of mint, coriander, and zesty lime, it captures the bright flavours of Southeast Asian cuisine. Serve these pancakes immediately for the best texture, topped with crunchy mung bean sprouts and a drizzle of chilli oil for an extra kick of heat.

How to make Coconut Prawns Pancakes with Fresh Herbs

Whisk chickpea flour, coconut milk, eggs, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons turmeric in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside.

Place bacon in a large nonstick skillet. Heat over medium and cook until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to crisp, 1–2 minutes.

Season prawns with remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons turmeric, then add to bacon in skillet. Continue to cook, stirring often, until prawns is opaque and bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with spring onions. Wipe out skillet.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add one-quarter of prawns mixture and shake to distribute in an even layer. Once sizzling, pour 120ml pancake batter over prawns mixture, being careful not to tilt pan to shift the even layer of prawns mixture. Cover and cook one minute, then uncover and continue to cook until bottom of pancake is golden-brown and centre is fully set, 2–3 minutes more. Carefully slide onto a plate. Repeat with remaining oil, prawns mixture, and batter to make 3 more pancakes.

Top pancakes with mung bean sprouts and herbs. Drizzle with chilli oil, if using, and serve with lime wedges alongside.
