Ingredients

  • 1 cup dosa mix
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell pepper, onion, tomato, mushrooms)
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 8 leaves curry leaves

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk 1 cup dosa mix with 1.5 cups water until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest while you prepare the filling, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and 8 curry leaves; cook until seeds splutter, about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add 2 cups chopped mixed vegetables (bell pepper, onion, tomato, mushrooms) and a pinch of salt. Sauté until tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high. Pour a ladleful of batter (about 1/4 cup) and spread into a thin circle. Drizzle 1 tsp oil around the edges. Cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Place a portion of the vegetable filling on one half of the dosa, fold over, and serve hot with chutney or sauce if desired.
