Instructions
1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and turmeric and cook for 1 minute or until seeds begin to pop. Add onion, ginger, chilli and coriander root and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, or until softened. Add potato and 2 1/2 cups warm water and increase heat to high. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft. Stir in lemon juice and season.
2. Meanwhile, combine flours and 3 tsp sea salt flakes in a bowl. Add 2 1/2 cups warm water and whisk until combined and smooth. Set aside for 20 minutes.
3. Heat a 22cm non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup batter and swirl pan to thinly coat base. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
4. Top one side of each dosa with some of the potato mixture. Fold over to cover filling. Serve with relish, lemon, chilli and coriander sprigs.
