Instructions
- Soak the rice and urad dal in water for 4-6 hours. Drain and blend into a smooth batter with a little water.
- Ferment the batter overnight or for 8-12 hours until it rises.
- In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add mustard seeds, and let them splutter. Add chopped onions, curry leaves, turmeric, and sauté until onions are translucent.
- Add the mashed potatoes and salt to the pan, mix well, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Heat a non-stick tava or pan, pour a ladle of dosa batter, and spread it in a circular motion. Drizzle some oil around the edges.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then place a portion of the potato filling on one half of the dosa and fold it over.
- Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.
Tips
- Ensure the batter is well fermented for best results.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding water as needed.
