Details and Ingredients

Masala Dosa is a quintessential South Indian dish, widely enjoyed in Kerala and beyond. The dosa batter is made from a fermented mix of rice and urad dal (black gram), creating a light, crispy crepe when cooked on a hot griddle with a touch of ghee or oil. The filling, known as masala, consists of mashed potatoes cooked with onions, green chilies, turmeric, mustard seeds, and curry leaves, offering a mildly spicy and aromatic taste. Traditionally served with coconut chutney and sambar (a lentil-based vegetable stew), Masala Dosa is a versatile dish perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s a vegetarian favorite that embodies the rich flavors of Kerala’s culinary tradition.
