Masala Dosa

Masala Dosa

My MIL named this as masala dosa and it is entirely different from what we get from restaurants. The batter for dosa is made by grinding rice, black gram, toor dal, red chillies and fennel seeds, where the one we get from restaurants the masala would be hiding inside. Thuvaiyal combination is common but for me it works well with chammandhi podi.

Ingredients:

To grind:

Rice – soaked 1 cup

Black gram – soaked, a hand full

Toor dal/thuvara parippu – soaked, a hand full

Red chillies – 4 nos

Fennel seeds – 2 tbsp

Asafoetida – turkey berry size

To garnish on dosa:

Shallots – 3, chopped

Green chillies – 1, chopped

Curry leaves – a sprig, chopped

Salt for taste

Method:

Grind the items listed under ‘to grind’ in a grinder to form a batter. Add chopped shallots, green chillies, curry leaves and salt to the batter. Make crispy masala dosa and serve with thuvaiyal.
