Spiced lentil-filled pancakes

From the little-known cuisine of the state of Bihar, this recipe for pancakes filled with spiced lentils, Pittha, is wholesome and healthy as well as delicious. The pancakes are very versatile - they can be served as an appetizer, a hearty brunch, or as a teatime snack. They can also be frozen, then defrosted and briefly shallow-fried or steamed to reheat when needed.
