Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add enough water to the fermented batter in a bowl to get dosa batter consistency.
  • Heat a non stick pan or iron tawa over high heat, add a drop of oil and rub half an onion on it. Once the tawa is heated, reduce the heat to medium and pour a ladle of batter in the centre.
  • Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion.
  • Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the dosa and close it with a lid.
  • Once the edges start browning and the dosa is cooked, reduce the heat, add 2-3 tablespoons of potato masala and a little butter (optional).
  • Flatten the potato mixture slightly along the diameter of the dosa.
  • Using the spatula, carefully loosen dosa and fold the sides of the dosa around the filling to make a cylindrical shape.
  • Remove from the pan and serve immediately with chutney and sambar of your choice.
  • Continue making dosas one at a time.
