  • For the dosa batter, rinse the dal and rice thoroughly, then soak in 900ml of water with fenugreek seeds for 6-12 hours until grains swell. Blend until smooth, transfer to a non-metallic bowl, cover, and let it ferment overnight until frothy. Preheat oven to 180°C. To make the filling, cook onions, ginger, chillies, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Add potatoes, squash, plantain, turmeric, and roast in the oven until golden and soft. Smash the cooked veggies for filling. Make tomato chutney by grating tomatoes, onions, ginger, and chilling and seasoning. For the coconut chutney, grate coconut, add zest, lime juice, onion, ginger, and season. For the lemon pickle, chop lemon, chillies, cook with seeds until fragrant, season, and cool. Cook each dosa in a greased pan, swirled thin, until crisp and golden. Garnish with coriander and serve with chutneys. Enjoy!
