HOW TO MAKE CRISPY DOSA

  • Take a non stick flat skillet or tawa and warm it.
  • The tawa should not be too hot.
  • Now splash a little water over the tawa and pour a ladleful of batter in the center.
  • Now gently spread the batter evenly in a circular motion.
  • Cook it on medium flame. Add little amount of oil on the sides and let it cook.
  • Cook dosa till it turns golden brown in color. Now add 2 tbsp of potato mixture & spread it.
  • Now pass a flat spoon under  the dosa and fold it.
  • Remove the dosa from the tawa.
  • Our masala dosa is ready. Garnish it with some grated coconut, finely chopped coriander leaves and serve with sambar and chutney.
TIPS :

While grinding just be careful about the quantity of water and smoothness of batter . Do not add water at once, add 2 – 3 spoons of water at beginning and then add as per the requirement.

Keep the batter at least for 6 hours for fermentation to make dosas soft yet crispy.

Urad dal absorbs more water than rice, keep it in mind when you are going to soak.

Use no-stick pan to make dosas.

The leftover potato filling can be used as a stuffing for sandwich toast.

You can fold the dosa into half, in a triangular shape or in a square shape also.

You can also add 1/2 tsp tur dal to the batter.

Add 1/2 tsp of red chili powder to the potato mixture and skip adding green chilies.(Optional)

If the tawa is getting too hot, turn off the flame and splash little amount of water again and wipe with the help of kitchen towel or tissue.

Add 1 tsp of lemon juice to the potato mixture to enhance the taste.
