method
- Add garlic, coriander, spinach, cumin and cardamom to a blender and blend until it’s a smooth green paste.
- In a large mixing bowl add the flour and create a well, then add the eggs, slowly whisking them into the flour. Add salt and stir, gradually add the milk, followed by the green paste and whisk to combine. Leave to rest for 20 minutes at room temperature until bubbly on top.
- In a separate bowl mix the topping ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add butter to an 8-inch non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Once hot, whisk the batter then ladle 60ml into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Serve the crêpes with the salad topping.
