Masala Dosa (Potato-Filled Rice-and-Lentil Crepe)

These crisp lentil-and-rice crepes filled with spiced potatoes are an iconic Indian dish.

The hearty potato filling is both spicy and sweet, playing up the crepe's sour tang. Roasted chana dal and cashews run throughout the filling for bites of nutty crunch.

Roasted Tomatoes and Lentils With Dukka-Crumbed Eggs From 'A Change of Appetite'
