Ingredients

COCONUT CHUTNEY

4 dried curry leaves
½ tsp. cumin seeds
½ tsp. black mustard seeds
2 tsp. vegetable oil
juice of ½ lime
salt, to taste
1 small green chilli, deseeded
1-2 tsp. finely grated ginger root
100 g / 1 cup desiccated coconut

FILLING

sambal oelek, to serve
fresh coriander, to serve
2 tbsp. cashew nuts, pan-roasted
½ tsp. salt, adjust to taste
1/3 cup frozen peas
chilli flakes or powder, to taste
1 tsp. ground turmeric
2.5 cm / 1″ ginger root, diced finely
3 garlic cloves, diced finely
2 small green chillies, diced finely
1 large onion, diced finely
10 fresh or dried curry leaves
1 tsp. black mustard seeds
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
4 medium potatoes

DOSA BATTER (must make 48 hrs in advance)

1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. fenugreek seeds
100 g / heaped ½ cup urid dal (split husked black lentils), I used unhusked
300 g / 1½ cups basmati rice

Method

01

DOSA BATTER: Place rinsed basmati rice in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, place dal and fenugreek seeds. Fill both bowls with water so that the dry ingredients are well covered and set aside for 8 hours (or overnight) to soak.
02

FILLING: Boil the potatoes until tender, drain and mash.
03

COCONUT CHUTNEY: Place desiccated coconut in a small bowl and cover with boiling water to rehydrate and soften (about 15 minutes).
04

DOSA BATTER: The next day, place drained (don’t throw away the soaking water just yet as it will come in handy) rice, dal and fenugreek seeds in a blender. Add ¾ cup / 180 ml of soaking liquid and salt and blend until super smooth. Place the batter in a large bowl, cover with a piece of cling film (glad wrap) and set aside in a warm place (for about 8 hours / overnight) so that the batter ferments.
05

FILLING: Heat up the oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan or pot. Once hot, add mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Fry for a few minutes until the mustard seeds make a popping sound.
06

COCONUT CHUTNEY: Put softened coconut (reserve soaking water), grated ginger and green chili in a blender or spice grinder. Blend until smooth, add a touch of soaking water to loosen up if needed. Season with salt and lime juice.
07

DOSA BATTER: If you are ready to fry the dosa pancakes, check the batter’s consistency. It should be somewhere between pancake and crepe batter. Heat up a medium frying pan on a low-medium oil, brush it with a generous amount of vegetable oil and ladle about 2-3 tablespoons of the batter onto the pan. Use the back of the ladle to spread the batter by making a large spiral on the surface of the batter from the middle of the pan outwards.
08

FILLING: Add chopped onion and green chillies. Fry (stirring now and then) for a few minutes, until softened. Add in garlic and ginger and fry off gently until they both become fragrant and the garlic softens.
09

COCONUT CHUTNEY: Heat up oil in a small frying pan. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and fry gently until the seeds start to pop.
10

DOSA BATTER: Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, then gently flip over to the other side and fry for another 2-4 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
11

FILLING: Mix in turmeric and a fat pinch of chili powder or flakes into the aromatics.
12

COCONUT CHUTNEY: Next, add in cumin seeds and crushed curry leaves and sautee them in the oil for a few seconds.
13

DOSA BATTER: Place cooked dosa on a plate, pile spicy potato filling in the middle, sprinkle with roasted cashews and chopped coriander and fold in half. Serve with a spicy sauce like sambal oelek and coconut chutney.
14

FILLING: Add mashed potatoes, frozen peas and salt. Keep it on the heat until the peas defrost and the excess water cooks out. Keep warm until needed.
15

COCONUT CHUTNEY: Add tempered spices (including leftover oil) into the chutney and mix well.
