Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina (Rava)
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- 0.25 cup All-purpose Flour (Maida)
- 4 cups Water
- 2 pieces Green Chilies, chopped
- 1 inch Ginger, finely chopped
- 10 leaves Curry Leaves, torn
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 3 medium Boiled Potatoes, mashed
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 4 tbsp Oil or Ghee
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and water to form a very thin, watery batter.
- 2
Add chopped green chilies, ginger, cumin seeds, and curry leaves to the batter and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- 3
Prepare the masala by sautéing onions, turmeric, and mashed potatoes in a pan with a little oil until well combined.
- 4
Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) on high heat and lightly grease it with oil.
- 5
Stir the batter well and pour it from a height starting from the edges toward the center to create a lacy pattern; do not spread with a spoon.
- 6
Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the edges and cook on medium-high flame until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
- 7
Place a portion of the potato masala in the center or on one side of the dosa.
- 8
Fold the dosa over the filling and serve immediately with coconut chutney and sambar.
