Recipe of Masala Dosa

 

Ingredients:

For the Dosa batter:

• 2 cups dosa rice (parboiled rice)
• 1/2 cup urad dal (split black gram)
• 1/2 cup poha (flattened rice flakes)
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed

For the Masala filling:

• 2 cups boiled and mashed potatoes
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped tomato
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves

Instructions:

1. Wash and soak the dosa rice, urad dal, and poha in separate bowls for at least 4-5 hours.
2. Drain the water from the soaked urad dal and grind it in a mixer or blender until it becomes a smooth and fluffy batter. Use a little water if needed.
3. Drain the water from the soaked dosa rice and grind it in a mixer or blender until it becomes a smooth batter. Use a little water if needed.
4. Grind the poha separately in a mixer or blender until it becomes a smooth paste.
5. Mix the urad dal batter, dosa rice batter, and poha paste together in a large bowl. Add salt to taste and mix well. Add water as needed to make a smooth and pouring consistency batter.
6. Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment for 6-8 hours or overnight. The batter should rise and become airy and fluffy.
7. Heat a griddle or tawa on medium heat. Grease the tawa with oil or ghee.
8. Pour a ladleful of the dosa batter onto the tawa and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin crepe-like dosa. Drizzle a little oil or ghee on the edges of the dosa.
9. Cook the dosa until the edges start to turn golden brown and crispy. Flip the dosa and cook for a few more seconds on the other side.
10. For the masala filling, heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
11. Add chopped tomato, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, and salt to taste. Cook until the tomatoes become soft.
12. Add boiled and mashed potatoes to the pan and mix well. Cook for a few more minutes until the masala filling is heated through.
13. Spread a spoonful of the masala filling on the center of the dosa. Fold the dosa from both sides to form a cylindrical shape.
14. Serve the hot and crispy Masala Dosa with sambar, coconut chutney, and tomato chutney.
