Stuffed South Indian Crepes Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 3/4 cup ricotta with 2 tablespoons sugar. Spread 8 prepared 12-inch crepes with the sweetened ricotta and fold into quarters. Top with sliced strawberries and drizzle with warm chocolate sauce.

Steps:

• Heat a non-stick crepe pan over medium-high heat.
• Whisk flour and water together in a bowl. Add egg and mix well. Whisk butter, salt, and caraway seeds into flour mixture to form a smooth batter.
• Pour about 1/4 cup batter into heated pan. Tilt the pan around so the batter forms a nice round shape. Cook until bubbles form throughout the batter, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip the crepe by using spatula to loosen it from the pan. Flick your wrist upwards to give the crepe a toss, flipping it, and landing it back in the pan. Cook the second side until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl mix together the semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, yogurt, 1 cup water, and salt and set aside until the semolina absorbs all the water, about 30 minutes.2. Mix in the remaining ingredients and whisk for a few seconds, adding enough of the remaining water to make a thin batter of pouring consistency. (If the batter becomes too thin, mix in some rice flour.)3. To make the dosa, heat a large cast-iron tava or a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat until a sprinkling of water sizzles immediately. Wipe the tava and baste it lightly with oil. Using a metal soup ladle, pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot tava and spread it evenly into a 6- to 7-inch circle by lightly pushing the batter outwards in round, circular motions with the back of the ladle.4. As the dosa sets and turns lightly golden on the bottom (which happens very quickly), drizzle 1/2 to 1 teaspoon oil around the edges and a few drops over the top and cook until the bottom takes on a rich golden hue, about 15 seconds. Turn over once and cook until the other side is barely golden, about 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve as is, or fill in some dry-cooked vegetables or meats and transform it into a Stuffed South Indian Crepe (see Breads and Crepes).From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Whisk milk, flour, eggs, 2 tablespoons oil, and salt together in a bowl until well combined.
• Heat a nonstick 10-inch skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat until hot. Pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter into the hot pan and immediately tilt the pan so the batter covers the bottom. Cook until the edges start to dry and the center is just about set, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip and repeat to brown the other side. Transfer to a sheet of waxed paper and repeat to make remaining crepes. Stack crepes between layers of waxed paper while you make the filling.
• Stir condensed soup, chicken, Cheddar cheese, milk, and mushrooms together in a large bowl until blended. Spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup chicken mixture down the side of one crepe. Roll the crepe, tucking in the sides as you roll. Repeat to stuff remaining crepes.
• Place crepes with seams facing down in the prepared baking dish. Pour remaining soup mixture over top and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the dosa batter. Then boil the potatoes in lightly salted water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool, peel, and coarsely mash.2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat, add the red chili peppers and ginger and cook, stirring, until golden, 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the green chili peppers, both the dals, mustard seeds, cumin, fenugreek, asafoetida, curry leaves, turmeric, and salt, and stir until golden, about 1 minute.3. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring lightly, over medium-high heat until heated through. Add the cilantro and lemon juice and cook about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.4. To make the dosa, heat a large cast-iron tava or a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat until a sprinkling of water sizzles immediately. Wipe the tava and baste it lightly with oil. Using a metal soup ladle, pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot tava and spread it evenly into a 6- to 7-inch circle by lightly pushing the batter outwards in round, circular motions with the back of the ladle.5. As the dosa sets and turns lightly golden on the bottom (which happens very quickly), drizzle 1/2 to 1 teaspoon oil around the edges and a few drops over the top and cook until the bottom takes on a rich golden hue, about 15 seconds. Turn over once and cook until the other side is barely golden, about 30 seconds. As you make each dosa, place about 1/2 cup filling in the center of the softer (whiter) side, then serve open-faced, folded in half, or shaped into a cone. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Place the eggs, milk, water, melted butter, flour, and salt in the pitcher of a blender; blend until smooth.
• Blend the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe. Tip and rotate pan to spread batter as thinly as possible. Flip over when the batter is set and the edges are beginning to brown. Cook until the other side begins to brown. Stack finished crepes on a plate, cover with a damp towel and set aside.
• To serve, fill each crepe with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1/3 cup of the cream cheese filling, roll up and top with a small dollop of the cream cheese filling and more sliced strawberries.
