Prepare the Crepe Batter:
Begin by gathering all the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ragi flour, and bajra flour. Add a pinch of salt and crushed black peppercorns. Gradually add water and stir to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick, yet pourable, similar to dosa batter. Set the batter aside. -
-
Prepare the Spicy Potato Filling:
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Once they begin to release their aroma, add the finely chopped green chilies. Sauté for a few seconds, and then add the finely chopped onions. Cook the onions until they turn golden brown and slightly caramelized.
Next, add the boiled and mashed potatoes to the pan. Stir in red chili powder and salt, mixing well to combine the spices with the potatoes. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
Once the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices, add the fresh coriander leaves and mix. Turn off the heat and set the filling aside. -
Cook the Crepes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of sunflower oil. Pour a ladleful of the crepe batter onto the pan and quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin circle.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes or until the top surface starts to set. Flip the crepe over and cook the other side for an additional 30-60 seconds, just until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove the crepe from the pan and set it on a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more crepes. -
Assemble the Multigrain Crepes:
Once all the crepes are cooked, spoon a generous portion of the spicy mashed potato filling onto the center of each crepe. Carefully roll up the crepe to encase the filling, folding the edges in to form a neat roll. -
Serving Suggestions:
Serve these Multigrain Crepes filled with Spicy Mashed Potatoes hot, with a side of yogurt dip, mint chutney, or Mexican salsa. These crepes make a fantastic breakfast, a hearty snack for a tea party, or a quick weeknight dinner.
