Ingredients

  • 2 cups dosa batter (store-bought or homemade rice-lentil blend)
  • 2 whole potato, medium
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger-garlic paste
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ cup coconut chutney (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil potatoes until fork-tender, ~15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Peel cooled potatoes and mash coarsely with a fork.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small pan over medium. Add mustard seeds until they pop, ~30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Stir in ginger-garlic paste, then add mashed potatoes, peas, turmeric, and salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Cook filling, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, ~3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  6. 6

    Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium-high until very hot, ~2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Pour 0.5 cup batter onto the center. Spread in a thin spiral motion with the back of a ladle until you have a 7-inch crepe.

  8. 8

    Drizzle 1 tsp oil around the edges. Cook until the bottom turns golden and crispy, ~90 seconds.

  9. 9

    Spoon 2–3 tbsp filling down the center of the dosa.

  10. 10

    Fold the dosa in half. Slide onto a plate and keep warm. Repeat for a second dosa.

  11. 11

    Serve dosas hot with coconut chutney on the side.
