Delicious Masala Dosa (Indian Pancakes)

Hi there, today I am going to post my favorite breakfast i.e. dosa (Indian Pancake).There are so many varieties of dosa but my all time favorite is masala dosa (delicious).

Dosa Batter ingredients:
150 g Raw rice
50 g Urad dal
10 g Poha; (pressed rice)
5 Methi seeds; up to 7
Salt to taste

Instructions for Dosa Batter:
Wash the urad dal, raw rice and methi seeds. Soak them in a little water along with poha and cooked rice for at least an hour. Grind to a smooth paste with a little water. Cover and keep aside for at least five hours. Add salt to taste and mix well.

Masala ingredients:
2-3 potatoes
Boiled and pealed
2 green chilies
1 onion cut length wise
1 inch ginger finely chopped
¼ tbs turmeric powder
For tempering
1 tbs chana dal
1 tbs urad dal
½ tbs mustard seeds
10 curry leaves

Procedure for making masala:
Boil the potato, peel and cut it in small pieces. In a pan pour oil; add the tempering ingredients, when the tempering starts to splutter add chopped ginger. Add sliced onion and green chili (cut in round) and sauté well. When it turns brown add boiled potato, turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and Remove from stove.

Preparation of masala dosa:
This batter can be used as basic batter for preparing masala dosa, sada dosa, onion uttappam, Mysore masala dosa, spring dosa, etc. The batter is enough to make about four to six dosas. Pour grinded mixture on the frying pan and spread it evenly in a circular outward motion. Keep the potato masala in the middle and fold it from both sides. Cook both the side of dosa until it turns brown. Serve with coconut chutney and sambhar.

Enjoy and Please leave comments...:)
