*Experience the authentic flavors of South India with this classic Masala Dosa.*


## **Ingredients**


### For the Dosa Batter


- 1½ cups rice (preferably parboiled)

- ½ cup urad dal (split black gram)

- 2 tablespoons chana dal (split chickpeas)

- ¼ teaspoon fenugreek seeds

- Salt to taste

- Water as needed

- Oil or ghee for cooking


### For the Potato Filling (Masala)


- 3 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed

- 1 large onion, thinly sliced

- 2 green chilies, slit

- 1-inch ginger, grated

- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

- 1 teaspoon urad dal

- 1 teaspoon chana dal

- 8-10 curry leaves

- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

- Salt to taste

- 2 tablespoons oil

- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnishing)


### For Serving


- Coconut chutney

- Sambar (lentil soup)


## **Instructions**


### **Preparing the Dosa Batter**


1. **Soak Ingredients**: Rinse rice, urad dal, chana dal, and fenugreek seeds separately. Soak them in water for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.


2. **Grind to Batter**: Drain the soaked ingredients. Grind urad dal and fenugreek seeds with a little water to a smooth, fluffy batter. Similarly, grind rice and chana dal to a slightly coarse batter. Combine both batters, add salt, and mix well.


3. **Fermentation**: Allow the batter to ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours or until it doubles in volume and turns slightly sour.


### **Preparing the Potato Filling (Masala)**


1. **Tempering**: Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add urad dal, chana dal, and sauté until golden.


2. **Sauté Aromatics**: Add curry leaves, green chilies, and grated ginger. Sauté for a minute.


3. **Cook Onions**: Add sliced onions and sauté until translucent.


4. **Add Potatoes**: Add turmeric powder and mashed potatoes. Mix well, season with salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.


### **Making the Dosa**


1. **Heat the Tawa**: Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil or ghee.


2. **Pour and Spread Batter**: Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the tawa. Using the back of the ladle, spread it outward in circular motions to form a thin crepe.


3. **Cook the Dosa**: Drizzle oil or ghee around the edges and on top. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy.


4. **Add Filling**: Place a portion of the potato filling on one side of the dosa. Fold the other side over to cover the filling.


5. **Serve**: Remove from the tawa and serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.
