Masala Dosa

Tomorrow, some friends are coming over my place and for them I want to cook rather special dish. i.e., Masala Dosa. Though it is not that special for us as we eat it often but for guests certainly it would be unusual.

Ingredients:

For Dosa crust:

3 cups rice

1 cup urad dal

1 cup curd

½ tsp soda bicarbonate/ 1 packet Eno

Salt to taste

For Stuffing:

5 medium sized potatoes

2 medium sized onion (sliced)

1 tbsp green peas

½ tsp mustard seed
1 tsp chana daal

2-3 green chili sliced vertically

½ tsp turmeric powder

1 bunch of Coriander leaves

2 tsp oil

Salt to taste

 

Direction:

 

Masala stuff:

• Boil potatoes and peel it.
• Heat oil in a pan and add green chilli, chana daal, mustard seed in it. Wait till popping sound comes from it and add onions in it.
• Cook onion on medium till golden brown.
• Add peas,salt, turmeric powder and other spices (as per your taste) and stir for about 3 minutes.
• Put in potatoes and mix well.
• Add chopped coriander leaves and stuff is ready to place in.

Dosa crust:

 

• Wash rice and urad dal one by one and soak them for about 4 to 6 hrs or overnight.
• Grind dal and rice separately to a paste but be careful that in case of rice paste would be a little rough.
• Mix them together in a deep pan. Add soda bi-carb/Eno and salt and mix well.
• Sprinkle a little water if required to make batter. Make sure the batter should be rather thick.
• Cover and keep aside in a warm place for about 7 to 10 hours, untouched.
• Add curd and mix well.
• Heat pan on a medium flame and put oil with the help of cotton or tissue paper.
• Pour the batter on pan with the help of bowl in circular motion to make it skinny.
• Flip the side and add previously prepared stuff inside Dosa and turn round.
• Serve hot with Sambhar and Coconut Chutney.
