Let's Get Started

  1. Wash the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds. Soak them in water for 4-6 hours.
  2. Drain the water and grind the soaked ingredients to make a smooth batter. Add water as needed.
  3. Cover the batter and let it ferment overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  4. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
  5. Add curry leaves, chopped onion, green chilies, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
  6. Add turmeric powder and mashed potatoes. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add salt to taste.
  7. Heat a non-stick dosa tawa (griddle) and pour a ladleful of the fermented batter. Spread it in a circular motion to make a thin dosa.
  8. Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the bottom side turns golden brown.
  9. Flip the dosa and cook the other side for a minute.
  10. Place a portion of the potato filling in the center of the dosa and fold it.
  11. Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.
