Dashing Dhosas!


Today was an exciting day at our house!  I made Dhosas for the first time.  Dhosas are Indian crepes from the southern part of Indian.  They are made from beans, rice, or chickpeas.  They are delicious when made fresh at restaurants, but I cheated and used the mix from the Indian store.  I mixed the powder with water, added salt and fresh garlic and blended to a watery consistency.

Here's the stuffing recipe:

Saute in a large pan until vegetables are soft:

2 large carrots
1/2 large onion
2 mashed garlic cloves
1 large or 2 small hot peppers
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon tumeric powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Add and cook until soft:

2 russet potatoes (pre-baked in the microwave)
1 cup peas
1 large tomato
1/4 cup water
handful fresh cilantro

Serve warm mixture wrapped in dhosa.  Enjoy!
