So I wandered into a little veg Indian restaurant for lunch the other day in Phx/Tempe and had a delightful meal - from the buffet no less. They brought out a crepelike thing with yellow mashed potato-ish stuff in it and it was wonderful. The potato filling seemed so familiar, and after eating the whole thing and wracking my brain, I made the connection to the delicious but slightly unique taste/texture of pierogie filling. I grabbed a takeout menu as I left and have concluded that it was a paper masala dosai.

Now, I know how to make mashed potatoes, but pierogie and this dosai filling had a slightly different taste/texture that I would like to recreate. Any great recipes? Am I even making sense?
