A Dosa is a thin pancake originating from Southern India, made from lentils or rice – they make a delicious meal when filled with curried vegetables. This pea and potato Masala is a quick and tasty vegetable filling for the dosa but would also taste delicious paired with rice or in a wrap if you’re in a rush.

Method
Step 1
To prepare the filling, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the Gregg's Mustard Seeds and Gregg's Cumin Seeds , cover and when they start to pop, add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion is soft. Add the chilli, ginger, garlic, curry leaves (if using) and Gregg's Ground Turmeric . Cook, stirring for a further 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the diced potatoes, ¼ tsp salt and ¾ cup water to the pan. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the potato is tender. Add a little extra water if necessary, but the filling should be dry at the end. Stir in the tamarind puree and Wattie's Baby Peas . Cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes until the peas have warmed through. Keep warm.
Step 3
Meanwhile, prepare the dosa. Place the flour, rice flour, salt, chilli, Gregg's Cumin Seeds , Gregg's Mustard Seeds and curry leaves (if using) in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the yoghurt then whisk in the water, little by little, until the batter is smooth and very thin.
Step 4
Heat ½ teaspoon of oil in a medium sized shallow non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Stir batter, then ladle 1/3 cup of the batter mixture into the pan. Pour in a circular motion, starting from the centre then out to the edges. Quickly spread it out so it covers the pan. There should be small gaps/ holes in the batter, which will allow steam to escape and make the batter crispy. Drizzle a little oil around the edge of the batter if desired to help it crisp up. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for about 1 minute on the other side. Repeat with remaining mixture, oiling the pan between each dosa.
Step 5
To serve, spoon some of the potato filling into the centre of each dosa. Fold over or roll to enclose the filling.
Tips
For a vegan option, omit the yoghurt.
Serve with a fresh coriander and mint chutney - place ¼ cup chopped coriander, ¼ cup chopped mint, 1 chopped green chilli, 2 tsp tamarind puree, 1 tsp sugar, ¼ tsp salt and 3 tbsp thick yoghurt into a small food processor. Process until smooth.
