- 1/4 cup chana dal (split chickpeas)
- 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
- Water (as needed)
- Salt to taste
For the Masala Filling:
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp urad dal
- 1/2 tsp chana dal
- 2 tbsp oil
- Fresh coriander, chopped
- Salt to taste
Recipe:
- Prepare the Dosa Batter:
- Soak rice, urad dal, chana dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the mixture and grind it to a smooth batter, adding water as needed. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Allow the batter to ferment for 8-12 hours in a warm place until it rises and becomes slightly sour. Stir in salt before using.
- Make the Masala Filling:
- Boil the diced potatoes in water until tender. Drain and mash them lightly.
- Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, and sauté until they turn golden brown.
- Add onions and green chili, and cook until onions become translucent.
- Stir in turmeric powder, mashed potatoes, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander.
- Prepare the Masala Dosa:
- Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the griddle and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin, even layer.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom is crispy and golden brown.
- Place a portion of the prepared potato masala in the center of the dosa and fold it in half or roll it.
- Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.
