Dosai Filling

You will need

2 Large Potatoes, boiled
1 Large Onion, red for preference
2 cloves Garlic
To Taste Green Chile (I used half of a small manzano chile, a "gringo killer", to begin with and found even that tended to overpower the flavours of the other spices. The original recipe had 4-5 green chiles. but that's way too much for my palate, and for the kind of chiles I grow.)
2.5 cm Grated Ginger Root
1 Tomato, chopped
1 teaspoon Medium Curry Powder, or Ground Coriander
1/2 teaspoon Fennel Seeds
1/2 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
1/2 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
1 - 1.5 cups Frozen Peas
To taste Salt - about 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon is about right for me
To taste Chopped Cilantro (Green Coriander) or Parsley
  1. Mash potatoes roughly.
  2. Chop coarsely one large onion, 2 cloves of garlic (optional) and green chilli (or chilli powder) to taste
  3. Grate a 1" piece of ginger.
  4. Cut up a tomato if you want.
  5. Heat some vegetable oil, add some fennel seeds, and cumin seeds (1/2 tsp. each)
  6. Add 1/2 tsp of black mustard seeds.
  7. When they crackle, add the green chillies, ginger, garlic (if used), and onions and fry them with a little salt for a while till onions are transparent. Add curry powder.
  8. Next add a cup or so of frozen peas, and chopped tomatoes, and fry for 5 minutes. Add a little tomato paste if the tomato flavour is still thin.
  9. Add the potatoes, and more salt if desired. Stir well till blended
  10. Add some chopped cilantro or parsley.
  11. Spread filling over half the surface of the dosai, and roll up like a pancake.
