 Sift flour into a bowl. Make a well in center and add
 egg. Gradually stir in milk and beat well until
 smooth. Stir in cold water and beat well. Pour batter
 into a pitcher.

 Heat a little oil in a small skillet and pour off
 excess. Pour a little batter into skillet, swirling
 skillet to spread batter evenly over bottom to make a
 thin coating. Sook until underside is golden, then
 turn pancake out of pan (do not cook other side).
 Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil pan each
 time, to make 8 pancakes.

 Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan. Add onion,
 ground beef, carrots, parsnip and curry powder. Cook
 gently 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add tomato
 paste and mix well. Blend cornstarch with a little
 stock. Add remaining stock to ground beef mixture and
 bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture and cook 2
 minutes, stirring constantly. Simmer mixture 10
 minutes.

 Lay pancakes, cooked-sides up, on a flat surface.
 Spread filling in a 2" horizontal lines across center
 to within 1-1/2" of side edges. Fold these side edges
 over mixture and then fold remaining top and bottom
 edges over to cover filling. Brush with egg and fold
 pancakes in half. Chill 1 hour.

 Half fill a deep fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat
 to 350 F (175 C) or until a 1/2" bread cube browns
 in 40 seconds. Fry folded pancakes, 4 at a time, 2-3
 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.
 Drain on paper towels. Garnish with carrot strip, if
 desired, and serve hot.
