Directions
POTATO FILLING
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the onions and garlic, mustard seeds and cumin. Cook about one minute, or until seeds start to pop.
- Add the turmeric, cayenne, and curry powder. Stir to combine, sauté for two minutes until onions are starting to soften. Season with salt.
- Add the potatoes and water. Mix until everything is combined. Cook over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften and the water is mostly absorbed.
- Remove from heat and fold in cilantro, scallions, and green chilies.
CREPES
- Combine wheat flour, rice flour, baking soda, and salt. If you cannot find rice flour, you can blitz white rice in a coffee mill to make your own, or substitute more wheat flour. Add water and lemon juice to the flour and mix until uniform.
- Preheat a crepe pan, or large (non-stick) skillet over medium high heat.
- Sprinkle water on a hot pan and wipe, it should evaporate very quickly if the pan is ready. Pour 1 small ladleful (2-ounce/60 mL) of the batter in the middle of the pan, then, using the back of the ladle, start in the middle, and use a circular motion to quickly spread the batter out evenly into a thin crepe that is about 6 inches (15 cm) around.
- Sprinkle a bit of oil on top of the crepe. Cook for two minutes or until it is golden and comes easily away from the pan.
- Transfer the crepe to a plate or work surface, spread a portion of the potato filling inside the cooked crepe, roll (like an omelette), then transfer to a plate. Continue until all of the batter and filling have been used and serve the stuffed crepes warm with red chutney and garnished with
