1 can coconut cream
2 tsp ground turmeric

1 tsp chicken stock powder,
10 g spring onions, finely chopped

Preparation
Mix together the two rice flours. Add the coconut cream to form a smooth runny paste (using a little boiling water if needed). Add the turmeric, salt and spring onion and mix through.
Heat the banh khot mould over a flame, grease with vegetable oil. Fill each indentation to about 2/3 with paste. Cover and cook for about 3- 5 minutes. Remove the cover, add one prawn and a tablespoon of mung beans to each pancake. Cover again and allow to cook for a few more minutes until the centre sets and the edges become crisp and golden.
Serve wrapped in a lettuce leaf with mint and pickles, and with a dipping sauce.
Note: You will need a special banh khot mould, available in Asian grocery stores. The hollows are mini-cupcake size.
