Dosas are a typical South Indian breakfast option. The masala dosa is an extended version by incorporating a potato masala to the dosa and serving with a chutney/sambar.

Steps

30 mins

1

For the potato masala, pressure cook 3 medium sized potatoes until soft. Mash them to a chunky form.
2

In a wide pan, heat coconut oil and temper mustard, urad dal, cumin and hing. The use of coconut oil enhances the flavor and taste manifold.
3

Once the seeds splutter, add green chilli, ginger and garlic and sauté till the raw smell goes.
4

Next toss in the chopped onion and cook till they turn translucent. Halfway add some fresh curry leaves. Once the onions are cooked well, add the turmeric powder and give a stir.
5

Now add a cup of water along with required salt and let it boil in medium flame.
6

Once the water comes to a boil, add the mashed potatoes and cook till it reaches a thick consistency.
7

After the masala is ready, prepare the dosa. Heat a dosa tawa, pour the batter, add some ghee and cook until the dosa turns golden brown.
8

Now spread the potato masala over the cooked dosa and serve with chutney or sambar. Additionally, idly-dosa podi may be sprinkled over the dosa and then masala be spread for extra flavor.

I’m presenting my dosa with coconut-coriander chutney, sambar and filter coffee.
