Masala Dosa is a favourite Breakfast of many people in the South. It is no more just related to it's region of origin and has become popular far and wide within the country as well as outside it. A complete meal in itself, it is very healthy and filling too. It can be fed to the very young children and the elderly too because of it's soft texture. By far it remains the favourite of me and I do hope yours too.

It's a great option on any day for all. And it's not a big hassle too. The batter stays fresh in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. This way it becomes quite handy too. Aloo Masala is quite an easy one too and doesn't require much efforts as well.
All in all it's always a pleasure working on perfect Dosas in the kitchen for your family.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

35-40 minutes

1

Soak rice and dal separately for 6 hours or more. Add fenugreek seeds and bengal gram to dal while soaking.
2

Grind them separately as well. Add Salt and leave it to ferment overnight. The batter should be semi thick with a flowing consistency.
3

Heat a heavy iron griddle. Pour a big ladleful of the batter and spread it in clockwise motion. Drizzle oil on the sides and on the top as well. Place Aloo Masala in the centre and cook until crisp and done.
4

The edges will start folding up easily and this is the proper time when you remove the Dosa onto a serving plate. Fold it into two or make a roll. That's it. It's all ready to be relished with more of Aloo Masala and yummy Coconut Chutney.
5

Boil potatoes using a little salt. Peel and dice them into small cubes. Heat Oil in a Kadai and add Asafoetida and Dry Red Chillies. Now add Black Mustard Seeds. After they crackle, add Curry Leaves and shredded Ginger. Also add Bengal Gram or Chana Daal. Keep the heat on a low.
6

Now add sliced Onions and saute until translucent. Next add the Green Chillies, Salt and the Potato cubes. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes on low heat only. Stir in some homemade Dry Mango powder or Amchur. After 10 minutes, sprinkle Garam Masala (it is optional) and garnish with Coriander Leaves. Serve it piping hot with your favourite dishes. Enjoy!
7

Serve them hot with split Chickpea Chutney/Putana Dal Chutney or Coconut Chutney or Tomato Onion Chutney or any other of your choice. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
