Making Coconut Chutney

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add 1 tbsp chana dal. Sauté until the dal turns slightly brown.
  • Add some curry leaves, 2 chopped green chilies, 1-inch ginger, 1 tsp tamarind, and ¼ cup peanuts. Sauté well.

Making Aloo Masala

  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add ½ tsp mustard seeds, a pinch of hing, ½ tsp urad dal, ½ tsp chana dal, 2 tbsp peanuts, and some curry leaves. Sauté well.
  • Add 3 chopped green chilies, 1 tbsp chopped ginger, 1 tbsp chopped garlic, and 1 cup sliced onions. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.

Making Masala Dosa

Making Vegetable Dosa

  • Heat a tawa and sprinkle some water. Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin dosa.
  • When the upper surface becomes dry, spread some oil on it.
  • Sprinkle chopped onion, capsicum, and coriander leaves on top.
  • In a bowl, mix red chili powder, chaat masala, and black salt. Sprinkle this masala over the dosa.
  • When the dosa becomes crispy, fold it and serve hot with chutney.

Notes

  • Addition of rice flour gives a crispy texture to the dosa.
  • Besan enhances the taste and provides binding and crispiness to the dosa.
  • If rice flour is not available, then increase the quantity of besan.
  • You can use 1 cup of curd instead of buttermilk.
  • The consistency of the dosa batter should be medium-thick.
  • Increase the tawa temperature before spreading the dosa.
  • Cook the dosa on a medium-low flame.
