Masala Dosa
Masala Dosa is one of the most iconic and beloved South Indian dishes, known for its delicious combination of textures and flavors. It starts with a crispy, golden-brown dosa — a thin crepe made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (split black lentils).
What sets Masala Dosa apart is its flavorful filling: a warm, mildly spiced potato masala made with boiled potatoes sautéed with onions, mustard seeds, curry leaves, turmeric, green chilies, and a touch of ginger. The dosa is spread thin on a hot griddle until crisp, then the savory potato masala is placed inside and the dosa is folded over.
Masala Dosa is typically served hot with fresh coconut chutney, tangy tomato or mint chutney, and a bowl of sambar (a spiced lentil and vegetable stew) — making it a wholesome, comforting, and satisfying meal enjoyed any time of day!
