Parsi Potatoes with EggRomulo Yanes

A frequent host of special dinners at Chez Panisse, Niloufer Ichaporia King is an amazing Parsi cook whose recipes are truly inspiring. When we saw this one in her new book, it struck us as the perfect marriage of whisper-light omelet and aromatic, dosa-like filling.

A note from gourmet's food editors:

The brown mustard seeds and fresh curry leaves give this dish a complex flavor, but consider those ingredients optional if you can't find them.
