Masala Dosa Recipe

Masala Dosa is a popular South Indian breakfast dish made with crispy dosa (rice and lentil crepes) filled with a spiced potato filling. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

For the Dosa Batter:

Rice (regular or parboiled) – 2 cups

Urad dal (split black gram) – 1/2 cup

Fenugreek seeds – 1/4 tsp

Water – as needed for soaking and grinding

Salt – to taste

For the Potato Filling:

Potatoes – 4 medium, boiled and mashed

Onion – 1 large, sliced

Green chilies – 2, finely chopped

Ginger – 1 inch, minced

Curry leaves – 6-8

Mustard seeds – 1 tsp

Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp

Red chili powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)

Oil – 2 tbsp

Salt – to taste

Fresh coriander leaves – 2 tbsp, chopped

Lemon juice – 1 tbsp

For the Dosa:

Oil or ghee – for cooking


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dosa Batter

1. Wash and soak rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for 6-8 hours or overnight.

2. Drain and grind to a smooth, slightly thick batter, adding water as needed.

3. Transfer to a large bowl, add salt, and mix well. Cover and let it ferment for 8-12 hours in a warm place.

Step 2: Make the Potato Filling

1. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

2. Add curry leaves, chopped green chilies, and minced ginger. Sauté for 1 minute.

3. Add sliced onions and cook until translucent.

4. Stir in turmeric, red chili powder (if using), and mashed potatoes. Mix well.

5. Season with salt and cook for 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and add coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Dosa

1. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron tawa (griddle) on medium heat. Grease lightly with oil or ghee.

2. Pour a ladleful of batter in the center and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

3. Drizzle oil or ghee around the edges. Cook until the dosa turns golden and crispy.

Step 4: Assemble the Masala Dosa

1. Place a portion of the potato filling in the center of the dosa.

2. Fold the dosa over the filling and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Masala Dosa with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, and sambar for a complete meal.
