Method:
Before we make the dosas, we need to prepare the potato filling ,red chutney and
the coconut chutney.
For the Red Chutney:
1.De seed the tomato, and grind finely with coconut,salt and dry red chillies with
just little water to grind them well.Set it aside.
2.Tempering will not be required for this chutney as we would be spreading this on
the dosa and will not be served as a side dish.
Note: This chutney should not be very watery.
For the Coconut Chutney:
1.Finely grind the coconut,green chillies,salt and pottu kadalai with just enough
water to grind finely.
2.Temper this chutney with curry leave,1/2 tsp of mustard seeds and 1/2 tsp of cumin
in 2 tsp of oil.
For the Potato filling:
1.In a kadai/wok, take 4 tbsp of oil, add kadalai parapu,remaining mustard seeds
,cumin, dry red chilly and curry leaves.
2.Once they start to splutter, add 1 tsp of turmeric powder and thinly sliced
onions.
3.After the onions have started to brown, add the boiled potatoes(cut into small
cubes).
4.Lower the flame ,add salt to taste and cook for another 5 minutes.
5.Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
After the above preparation have been done,we will go ahead making the masala dosa.
For Masala Dosa:
1.Heat a tava/griddle and apply some oil.Take a ladle of dosa batter and pour onto
the gridle and in circular motions spread it around,like how you would do for any
dosa.This has to be very thin.
2.Sprinkle 1 tsp of oil for the dosa to cook.
3.Once one of the sides is done, flip over and cook for 2 minutes on medium flame
till the dosa starts to brown.
4.Flip it again and lower the flame.Now take a tsp of red chutney and smear it over
the dosa.
5.After this, take 2 tbsp of potato filing in the centre as show in the picture
below.
6.Close the dosa on both side like an envelop and flip it gently onto the serving
plate.
7.Masala dosa is ready to be served with coconut chutney and sambar.
