Instructions
 

Preparing the Dosa Batter

  • Wash and soak rice, urad dal, fenugreek seeds, and chana dal in plenty of water for 5-6 hours.
  • Drain the water, reserving some for grinding (this aids fermentation).
  • Soak poha separately for 10 minutes, then drain.
  • Grind the soaked ingredients and poha together, adding reserved water gradually until a smooth, fluffy batter forms.
  • Transfer the batter to a container, cover, and let it ferment for 8-9 hours or overnight at room temperature.
  • Before cooking, add salt to the batter and mix well.

Making the Potato Filling

  • Boil potatoes until tender in a pressure cooker.
  • Once cool, peel and mash the potatoes.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, then cumin seeds, urad dal, chana dal, and cashews; sauté until fragrant.
  • Add ginger, curry leaves, turmeric powder, and asafoetida; sauté briefly.
  • Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
  • Stir in mashed potatoes, salt, and coriander leaves; mix well. Set aside.

Preparing the Red Chutney

  • Heat oil in a pan. Add red chilies and chana dal; roast until fragrant.
  • Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté for a minute.
  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  • Grind the mixture in a blender with lemon juice, grated coconut, and a little water (2-3 tablespoons) until smooth.
  • Adjust consistency as needed.

Cooking the Mysore Masala Dosa

  • Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium heat. (Do not oil the tawa.)
  • Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot tawa and spread it thinly in a circular motion.
  • Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa.
  • Cover and cook until the base is browned and the top is cooked through.
  • Spread 1-2 teaspoons of red chutney over the dosa.
  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of potato filling and spread lightly.
  • Fold the dosa and serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar (optional), and tomato chutney (optional).

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Mysore Masala Dosa

  • For optimal fermentation, use warm water to soak the ingredients and keep the batter in a warm place.
  • Don't over-grind the batter; a slightly coarse texture is ideal for a crispier dosa.
  • If your batter is too thick, add a little water; if too thin, add a little more rice flour.
  • Adjust the amount of chili in the chutney to your preference. A little jaggery can balance the spice and add depth.
