Ingredients
Gobi Masala Filling
- 15 florets Cauliflower
- 2 Bell Peppers or onions, thinly sliced
- 1 Tomato finely chopped
- 2 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 tsp Chili chopped, green
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 2 tbsp Coriander dhania, chopped
- 2 Potatoes boiled and mashed
- 2 tbsp Oil
For the Dosa
- Dosa Batter enough for 6 dosas
- Oil as needed, for cooking the dosas
Instructions
- Parboil the cauliflower florets until slightly tender. Drain and set aside. Break into smaller florets if needed.
- Heat oil in a wok or large pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. This releases their aromatic oils.
- Add the sliced bell peppers (or onions) and green chilies. Sauté until softened.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. This step builds a flavor base for the masala.
- Add the chopped tomato and cook until it breaks down into a pulp.
- Add salt, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well to combine the spices.
- Add the parboiled cauliflower and mix gently. Sprinkle a little water and cook until the cauliflower is tender.
- Stir in the mashed potatoes, chopped coriander, and curry leaves. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Heat a non-stick dosa tawa or griddle. Spread a ladleful of dosa batter thinly in a circular motion.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the edges start to crisp and the bottom turns golden brown.
- Flip the dosa and cook the other side briefly until lightly golden. Flipping ensures even cooking.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the gobi masala in the center of the dosa. Fold the dosa in half or roll it up.
- Serve the Gobi Masala Dosa immediately while hot. You can also cut it into smaller pieces for easier serving.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch in your filling, stir in a handful of finely chopped roasted cashews or peanuts just before stuffing the dosa.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of chaat masala to the gobi masala after cooking, just before filling the dosa.
- To save time, prepare the cauliflower masala a day ahead; simply reheat and use it as a filling when ready to make dosas—the flavors deepen and meld overnight.
- For a vegan-friendly version, ensure your dosa batter contains no yogurt or dairy, and use oil instead of ghee for cooking the dosas.
Expert Tips
- For perfectly crisp dosas, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or tawa.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the dosas; cook them in batches for even browning.
- Serve the stuffed dosas immediately with your favorite chutneys and sambar for a complete meal.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover dosa filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before using.
- Cooked dosas can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Reheat them on a griddle or in a microwave until warm and crispy.
