Ingredients
For the Potato Masala
- 2 medium Potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 inch Ginger finely chopped
- 2 Chilies green, slit
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds rai
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 6 leaves Curry Leaves
- 1 tbsp Cooking Oil
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Vegetable Filling
For the Dosa
- 2 cup Dosa Batter fermented rice and lentil batter (idli batter works well)
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Potato Masala
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds; once they splutter, add curry leaves, green chilies, and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened. Stir in the turmeric powder, salt, and mashed potatoes. Add a little water, mix well, and cook until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Vegetable Filling
- Heat oil in another pan. Add the chopped onion, beetroot, and carrot. Sauté until slightly softened, adding salt halfway through. Stir continuously.
Cook the Kanchipuram Dosa
- Heat a lightly oiled dosa pan or griddle. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan and spread it into a thin, round crepe. Drizzle a little oil around the edges. When the edges start to brown and lift, add a spoonful of the vegetable filling to one half of the dosa. Top with a spoonful of the potato masala.
Fold and Serve
- Gently fold the dosa in half. Cook for another minute until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with sambar and coconut chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Kanchipuram Dosa
- For extra flavor in the potato masala, add a pinch of garam masala or chili powder.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the dosas; cook them in batches to ensure they are crispy.
- If your batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. A slightly runny batter will help create a thin and crispy dosa.
- Use a non-stick pan for easy flipping and to prevent sticking.
