For the Batter:<\/span><\/p>

  • 1.5 cups idli rice or parboiled rice (alternatively, short-grained rice like <\/span>golden vine<\/span>)<\/span><\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd cup <\/span>black gram<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>
  • 1 tablespoon <\/span>split chickpeas<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>

  • \u2153 cup thick <\/span>flattened rice<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>
  • Water<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    For the Potato Filling:<\/span><\/p>

    • 4 medium-sized potatoes<\/span><\/li>
    • 1 tablespoon <\/span>split chickpeas<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced<\/span><\/li>
    • 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped<\/span><\/li>
    • 1 inch piece of ginger, finely chopped<\/span><\/li>
    • 3 tablespoons coriander leaves, chopped<\/span><\/li>
    • 2 tablespoons oil or ghee<\/span><\/li>
    • 2 tablespoons cashews (optional)<\/span><\/li>
    • \u00bd teaspoon mustard seeds<\/span><\/li>
    • \u00bd teaspoon cumin seeds (optional)<\/span><\/li>
    • \u00bc teaspoon turmeric powder<\/span><\/li>
    • A pinch of asafoetida (hing, optional)<\/span><\/li>
    • Salt to taste<\/span><\/li>
    • \u00bc to \u00bd teaspoon sugar (optional)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      For Crumbing:<\/span><\/p>

      • Plain flour<\/span><\/li>
      • 1 egg<\/span><\/li>
      • Water<\/span><\/li>
      • Salt<\/span><\/li>
      • Turmeric powder<\/span><\/li>
      • Bread crumbs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

        Instructions<\/span><\/h2>
        1. Soak 1.5 cups of idli rice, \u00bd cup black gram dal, 1 tablespoon <\/span>split chickpeas<\/span> , 20 fenugreek seeds, and \u2153 cup flattened rice in water separately for 4-5 hours before combining.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
        2. Strain the soaked lentils and fenugreek seeds. Place them in a grinder with \u00bd cup of fresh water or the soaked water. Grind until the mixture is light and fluffy.<\/span><\/li>
        3. Strain the rice and poha. In the same grinder, add the soaked rice and 1 cup of fresh water. Grind to a fine, grainy consistency similar to cream of wheat.<\/span><\/li>
        4. Mix the rice batter with the <\/span>black gram<\/span> batter. Add \u00bd teaspoon salt and mix thoroughly. Cover and let it ferment at room temperature for 8-9 hours, or up to 24 hours, depending on the ambient temperature.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
        5. To prepare the potato filling, Boil 4 medium-sized potatoes in a pressure cooker for 5-6 whistles until tender. Alternatively, use a pan or Instant Pot. Once cooked, peel and chop them.<\/span><\/li>
        6. Soak 1 tablespoon <\/span>split chickpeas <\/span>in \u00bc cup hot water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
        7. Heat oil or ghee in a frying pan. Add mustard seeds and optionally cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add <\/span>split chickpeas<\/span> and saut\u00e9 until golden.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
        8. Add onions, green chilies, ginger, and curry leaves. Saut\u00e9 until the onions are translucent.<\/span><\/li>
        9. Add turmeric powder and a pinch of asafoetida, if using. Mix well.<\/span><\/li>
        10. Add \u00bd cup water and simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in the chopped potatoes, salt, and optional sugar. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Finish with coriander leaves and optional cashews.<\/span><\/li>
        11. Heat a cast iron or non-stick pan. If using a cast iron pan, smear a bit of oil; otherwise, skip the oil for non-stick pans.<\/span><\/li>
        12. Stir the fermented batter well. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan and spread it in a circular motion.<\/span><\/li>
        13. Drizzle a bit of oil on top and edges. Cover and cook until the base is golden and crispy. Optionally, flip and cook the other side.<\/span><\/li>
        14. Place a portion of the potato masala filling in the center of the dosa. Fold the dosa over the filling. Serve hot.<\/span><\/li>
        15. Serve your masala dosa with sambar, coconut chutney, onion chutney, tomato chutney, or peanut chutney for an authentic experience.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

          Enjoy your homemade masala dosa, a delightful combination of crisp dosa and flavorful potato filling!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
