Приготовление

Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   Rinse idli rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds together thoroughly under running water.

   Около 2 мин

2. 2

   Soak the rinsed rice, dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for at least 6 hours or overnight.

   Около 6 ч

   Совет повара: Ensure there is enough water to cover the ingredients completely, as they will expand.

3. 3

   Drain the soaking water and transfer the soaked ingredients to a high-speed blender.

   Около 1 мин

4. 4

   Add fresh water and blend until you achieve a very smooth, creamy batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter.

   Около 10 мин

   Совет повара: Add water gradually to reach the desired consistency. The batter should be thick but pourable.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into a large bowl, stir in the salt, and cover loosely with a lid or plastic wrap.

   Около 1 мин

6. 6

   Allow the batter to ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours, or until it has doubled in volume and has a slightly sour aroma.

   Около 12 ч

   Совет повара: Fermentation time varies with ambient temperature; a warmer place speeds up the process.

7. 7

   While the batter ferments, prepare the potato filling: heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.

   Около 2 мин

8. 8

   Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter, then add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.

   Около 1 мин

9. 9

   Stir in chopped yellow onion, grated ginger, and minced green chili, then sauté until the onion turns translucent.

   Около 5 мин

10. 10

    Add turmeric powder and the mashed potato to the pan, mixing well to combine all ingredients.

    Около 2 мин

11. 11

    Season the potato filling with salt and add water, mixing until lightly moist and well-combined, then set aside.

    Около 3 мин

12. 12

    Once the dosa batter is fermented, gently stir it without deflating too much and check consistency; add a little water if too thick.

    Около 1 мин

    Совет повара: The batter should be pourable but not watery.

13. 13

    Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium-high heat until hot, then lightly grease it with oil.

    Около 3 мин

    Совет повара: You can sprinkle a few drops of water on the griddle; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, it's ready.

14. 14

    Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the center of the griddle and quickly spread it outwards in a spiral motion to form a thin, even circle.

    Около 1 мин

    Совет повара: Work quickly to spread the batter before it sets.

15. 15

    Drizzle a little vegetable oil around the edges and over the dosa.

16. 16

    Cook the dosa until the edges start to crisp and turn golden brown, and the center is cooked through.

    Около 3 мин

    Совет повара: Do not flip the dosa. It cooks on one side only.

17. 17

    Place a portion of the potato filling on one half of the dosa, then fold the other half over to create a semi-circle or roll it up.

    Около 1 мин

18. 18

    Remove the masala dosa from the griddle and serve immediately.

19. 19

    Repeat with the remaining batter and filling, adjusting griddle temperature as needed.

    Около 20 мин

    Совет повара: Wipe the griddle with a damp cloth between dosas to cool it slightly and prevent sticking.

20. 20

    Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
