Ingredients:

For the Dosa Batter:

• 1 cup rice flour
• 2 tablespoons besan (gram flour)
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• Water (as needed for consistency)

For the Masala (Filling):

• 2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1-2 green chilies, chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala or sambar masala
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)

For Cooking:

• Ghee or oil

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Dosa Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, besan (gram flour), turmeric powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add water while stirring continuously to make a smooth batter. The consistency should be like a pancake batter – not too runny but easy to spread.
3. Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes while you prepare the masala.

Step 2: Prepare the Masala (Filling)

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, allowing them to splutter.
2. Add chopped green chilies and onions. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
3. Stir in turmeric powder and garam masala (or sambar masala). Mix well.
4. Add the mashed potatoes and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Dosa

1. Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) on medium-high heat and lightly grease it with ghee or oil.
2. Pour a ladleful of the dosa batter onto the hot tawa and spread it evenly into a thin circle, starting from the center and moving outwards.
3. Drizzle a little more oil or ghee around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Once the dosa is crispy, flip it over and cook for another minute (optional for extra crispiness).

Step 4: Assemble the Dosa

1. Place a generous portion of the prepared potato masala in the center of the dosa.
2. Fold the dosa over the filling, forming a half-moon or triangle shape.

Step 5: Serve

Serve your crispy dosa with coconut chutney and sambar for the perfect combination. Enjoy your crispy dosa masala hot, and relish the crunchy edges and soft, flavorful filling!

Tips for Perfect Crispy Dosa:

• Make sure the tawa is hot enough before pouring the batter. This helps in getting a crispy texture.
• The thinner you spread the batter, the crispier the dosa will be.
• If you prefer extra crispy dosas, you can increase the cooking time a little bit, but keep an eye to avoid burning.
• For a variation, you can also add some grated carrots or chopped cabbage to the masala for extra crunch.

Now, with this 10-minute crispy dosa recipe, you can enjoy a delectable, crispy treat anytime you want without spending hours cooking. Enjoy the perfect dosa, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and savor every bite!
