6 servings · 105 minutes (estimated)

Ingredients
Quantities for 6 servings.
- 300 g Rice, soaked six hours
- 100 g Urad dal, soaked six hours
- 1 tsp Fenugreek seeds
- 800 g Potatoes, boiled
- 2 piece Onions
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds
- 12 piece Curry leaves
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 3 piece Green chillies
- 30 g Ginger
- 100 ml Vegetable oil
- 30 g Coriander
- to taste Salt
Method
- Soak the rice separately and the dal with the fenugreek separately, six hours each.
- Grind the dal to a light fluffy paste, then the rice to a slightly grainy one, and combine them.
- Salt it, cover it and leave it somewhere warm for eight to twelve hours, until it rises and smells sour.
- Pop the mustard seeds in oil, then add the curry leaves, onion, chillies and ginger.
- Add the turmeric and the crushed potato, season and warm it five minutes; that is the filling.
- Heat a flat pan, wipe it with the oiled onion and pour a ladle of batter, spreading it in a spiral from the centre.
- Drizzle oil around the edge and cook until the underside browns, two minutes. Add the filling and fold it over.
