I could not get this into a "dough" I tried adding a few more table spoons of flour but to no avail, however, I wondered if they would work like a drop scone? So I got the preheated tray out of the oven, sprayed some veg oil and poured the mix onto the tray, popped it in the oven and after 7 mins turned them over and put back in for another 7, got them out, brushed them with melted butter, wrapped them up and put them in the warm top oven until our curry was cooked. they were so light, lovely to eat, I may try them again adding some garlic and coriander.

We really liked these, children gobbled them up! I used a bit more water and flour, by accident but they turned out great. 4 stars because they don't really puff up.
