Ingredients :

Dosa Batter
1. Rice 300 g
2. Urad Dal 75 g
3. Salt 1/2 tsp
4. Sugar 1/2 tsp

Potato Masala
1. Potatoes (boiled and mashed) 2 medium
2. Onion (sliced) 1 medium
3. Green chillies (finely chopped) 2
4. Ginger (grated) 1 tsp
5. Curry leaves 1/2 tsp
6. Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
7. Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
8. Salt 1/2 tsp
9. Oil 1 tbsp
10. Fresh coriander leaves (chopped) 1 tbsp

Coconut Chutney
1. Grated coconut 50 g
2. Green chilli 1, slit
3. Tamarind 1/2 tsp
4. Curry leaves 1/2 tsp
5. Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
6. Salt 1/2 tsp
7. Water 50 ml

For Cooking
1. Ghee 2 tbsp
2. Oil 1 tbsp

Procedure :

1. Wash and soak the rice and dal overnight, then blend with salt and sugar to make a thick, smooth batter. Ferment the batter in a warm area for 8-10 hours.
2. For the potato masala, heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add curry leaves, green chillies, and grated ginger. Sauté for a minute, then add sliced onions and cook until golden brown. Add turmeric powder, salt, and mashed potatoes. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and set aside.
3. For the coconut chutney, blend grated coconut, green chilli, tamarind, and water to a coarse consistency. Heat oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds and curry leaves, and temper the chutney by mixing the hot seasoning into it.
4. Heat a Dosa Tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the tawa and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin layer. Drizzle a little ghee around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden brown. Place a spoonful of the prepared potato masala in the centre of the dosa and spread it evenly. Fold the dosa over the filling to create a semi-circle or roll it as desired.
5. Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar for an authentic South Indian experience.
