Steps

20-25 minutes

1

Soak the first four ingredients overnight. Wash and drain well. Add the fresh turmeric root and grind to a smooth paste by adding some water.
2

Add salt and mix well. Cover and keep in a warm place overnight to ferment. Fill the batter in a squeezer bottle through a funnel.
3

Pour few drops of oil on a hot tawa / griddle and sprinkle some water. After the water sizzles off, wipe clean with a tissue paper.
4

Reduce the flame and gently squeeze the bottle on the tawa to make a net pattern. Drizzle some oil over it and cook for 2-3 minutes or till it is done on one side.
5

Gently flip it over and cook the other side too. Remove on a plate carefully. Make similar Net Dosas with the remaining batter. Serve with a filling of potato curry, coconut chutney and sambar.
6

Potato Curry - Heat oil in a pan and temper with mustard seeds. After it stops crackling, add the curry leaves and onion. Sauté till light brown.
7

Now add the ginger-garlic paste and stir fry for a few seconds till the raw smell disappears. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook, covered, on a low flame till it is mashed.
8

Add all the dry spices and give it a stir. Add the coarsely mashed potatoes and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
