Ingredients
For the Dosa Batter (Prepare the night before)

- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste
- 1/4 tsp Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp Oil for cooking the dosas and eggs
For the Topping
- 1 Tomato finely chopped
- 1 Onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Coriander finely chopped (cilantro)
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric (haldi) powder
- 1/4 tsp Sambar Powder or garlic powder
Instructions
Prepare the Dosa Batter
- Soak urad dal, idli rice, and fenugreek seeds in 2 cups of water for at least 7-8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Grind the soaked mixture into a smooth batter using a blender or food processor. Add more water as needed to achieve a pouring consistency.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl, cover, and let it ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours, or until it has doubled in volume.
Prepare the Egg Filling
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, chili powder, and salt.
Cook the Egg Dosa
- Heat a non-stick pan or dosa tawa over medium heat.
- Lightly grease the pan with oil.
- Pour a ladleful of the fermented dosa batter onto the hot pan, and spread it into a thin, circular crepe using the back of the ladle.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Pour the egg mixture onto one half of the dosa.
- Top with chopped tomatoes, onions, and coriander leaves.
- Sprinkle turmeric powder and sambar powder (or garlic powder) over the filling.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the egg is cooked through.
- Carefully fold the dosa in half or roll it up.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Egg Dosa
- For a crispier dosa, use a well-seasoned iron griddle or tawa.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the dosas in batches to ensure even cooking.
- If your batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. If it's too thin, let it sit for a bit longer to thicken.
- Experiment with different fillings! Add vegetables like spinach, potatoes, or cheese for a unique twist.
