Instructions
Prepare the Dosa Batter
- Prepare the dosa batter as per the instructions in the link provided (or your own favorite recipe).
Prepare the Bhaji Filling
- Wash and finely shred the cabbage. Wash and chop the tomatoes and potatoes. Finely chop the onion.
- Place the chopped vegetables (cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, onion) in a pressure cooker. Add 1 teaspoon of coriander powder and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper powder.
- Add 1/2 cup of water and cook on low-medium flame for 2 whistles. Allow the vegetables to cool after cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or broad pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once the seeds splutter, add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes. Using a pav bhaji masher (or a potato masher), gently mash the cooked vegetables, leaving some pieces intact for texture.
- Add the mashed vegetables to the pan. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Assemble and Cook the Dosa
- Heat a lightly oiled dosa pan or non-stick skillet. Pour a ladleful of dosa batter and spread thinly to form a crepe.
- Once the edges begin to lift, spread a layer of the bhaji filling evenly over the dosa.
- Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and serve immediately with chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Bhaji Dosa
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala to the bhaji filling.
- If you prefer a less spicy dosa, reduce the amount of red chili powder.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking the dosas; cook them in batches to ensure even browning.
- To make the dosa crispier, use a well-seasoned griddle or pan.
