South Indian Breakfast | Rice Crepes with Potato Masala stuffed – Masala Dosa

-
Masala dosa is one of the most popular South Indian breakfast dishes. Dosa is a crepe made using fermented rice and lentil batter. Masala dosa is crisp, aromatic, flavourful and has a potato masala or spiced seasoned potatoes stuffed in it.

Ingredients

For Dosa

  • Rice - 2 cup
  • Black gram - 1/2 cup
  • Fenugreek seeds - 1/4 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying

For Potato Masala

  • Potatoes - large
  • Onions - 2 medium, (finely chopped)
  • Green Chillies - 3-4 or as per your spicy level (chopped)
  • Cashew nuts - 2 tbs (broken)
  • Mustard - 1/2 tsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Curry leaves - Few
  • Salt to taste

How to make Dosa Batter

Separately soak rice and urad dal along with fenugreek seeds at least 4 hour or overnight in water. First grind the soaked urad dal, fenugreek seeds in the grinder to a smooth paste, adding water. Transfer this into a big container. Now grind the soaked rice adding water. Add the grounded rice batter to the urad dal batter in the vessel. Mix it well. Add salt to it and mix well. The batter should be consistent enough to stick to a spoon when dipped.) Cover and keep it aside for 4-6 hrs for fermentation.

Once the batter is ready we can make the Potato Masala.

Preparation of Potato Masala

Pressure cook the potatoes and mash them. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add broken cashews, curry leaves and fry for a minute. Add green chilies and chopped onions. Saute till the onions turn golden brown and now add turmeric powder and mix it well. Add the mashed potatoes and 1/4 a cup of water. Put salt to taste. When it comes to a boil cover and cook it on a low flame for about 10 minutes.

Preparation for Masala Dosa

Heat a flat griddle or a non-stick pan and grease it with a teaspoon of oil or ghee. Pour a ladle full of batter and spread the dosas in round shape as thin as possible. Drizzle some oil or ghee and when it gets cooked, no need to flip, just spread a ladle full of potato masala prepared in the middle. Fold the dosa into half, closing the masala filling, and serve hot with Coconut Chutney or Sambar (which is a vegetable curry made of Channa Dhal and vegetables).
