Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups dosa batter (store-bought or fermented)
  • 4 tbsp ghee
  • 1 cup potatoes, boiled and diced small
  • ½ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sambar powder
  • ½ cup frozen coconut chutney (or fresh grated coconut blended with yogurt)
  • 1 cup yogurt (for lassi)
  • ¾ cup jarred sambar paste or powder-based sambar (quick version)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~60 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add sliced onion and diced potato, sprinkle with sambar powder and salt. Stir-fry until onion softens and edges brown, ~4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour 0.5 cup dosa batter into the center of the skillet in a thin stream, swirling outward to form a 7-inch circle.

  4. 4

    Drizzle 1 tbsp ghee around the edges and on top. Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, ~2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for 60 seconds.

  5. 5

    Slide the dosa onto a plate. Repeat steps 1–4 with remaining batter and ghee to make one more dosa.

  6. 6

    Blend yogurt with a pinch of salt and a few ice cubes to make lassi. Serve dosas with warm sambar, coconut chutney, and chilled lassi on the side.
