3. heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and brush with oil. working in batches, pour ladlefuls of batter into the pan to form 8cm pancakes. cook for 2 mins until golden; flip and cook for a further 2 mins. repeat to make 12 pancakes.
4. mix the yoghurt with the chilli sauce, then serve with the pancakes, remaining coriander and lime wedges for squeezing over.
