  • For the Masala for Dosas:

  • 2 Tbsp Oil
  • 1 tsp Mustard seeds
  • 6-7 Curry leaves
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric, powdered
  • 1/2 Cup Water

How to Make Masala Dosa

  • 1.Wash and soak the rice in one container and the dal and fenugreek seeds together in another container for 5-6 hours or over night, depending on the weather.
  • 2.Grind dal mixture together to a very smooth consistency. Next grind the rice smooth too and mix the two batters.
  • 3.Add salt and enough water to make into a dropping consistency. Leave to ferment over-night or more depending on the weather, till a little spongy.
  • 4.If thickened too much, add a little water to thin a bit. Heat tawa, and brush oil over it. When really hot, splash a little water over it, and immediately pour batter onto it, spreading it thin, with a circular motion.
  • 5.This will have to be very swift and will need a bit of practice.
  • 6.After spreading the batter, lower the heat and dribble a little oil around the edges so that it seeps under the dosa.
  • 7.When edges start browning a bit, pass a flat spoon under it to ease the dosa off the pan. Put desired filling in the center, and fold the two edges over.
  • 8.Serve accompanied with sambhar and chutney.
  • Prepare the masala filling:
  • 1.Heat the oil in a heavy based pan and add the mustard seeds, then onions, curry leaves and green chillies, and saute over high heat till the onions are a little transparent.
  • 2.Add the salt and the turmeric and mix well, before adding the potatoes.
  • 3.Turn the potatoes around till well mixed, and add the water, and let it simmer, for 2-3 minutes.
