Preparation steps
1.
For Spicy Rice Filling:
2.
Bring the water to a boil, add the rice and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender.
3.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and cook, stirring for 4 to 6 minutes or until soft. Add garlic, coriander, ginger, and turmeric; cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from heat.
4.
Add the rice, cilantro, lemon zest, lemon juice and yogurt; stir to combine.
5.
For Crepes:
6.
In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Set aside to cool.
7.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Mix in the flour gradually. Slowly add the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add salt and cooled butter and mix with a whisk until smooth.
8.
Heat skillet over medium high heat. Add some of the remaining butter to coat pan.
9.
Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly in a thin layer.
10.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Move to a plate. Repeat until all batter is used.
11.
Lay the crepes out on a work surface.

To Assemble:
13.
Spoon the rice filling over the crepe and spread almost to the edges of the crepes. Carefully roll-up each crepe. Tie off each end with a spring onion ribbon. Using a sharp knife, cut in half diagonally. Arrange on a tray and serve.
