First, cook the potatoes, mash them, and keep them aside.- 3
Crush some ginger and extract juice from a lemon. Keep both aside.- 4
Let’s begin by making the chilli chutney. Soak 8 Kashmiri chillies and 4 dry red chillies in hot water for about 10–15 minutes.- 5
Grind the soaked chillies with 4–5 garlic cloves, 1 chopped onion, ½ teaspoon ginger, tamarind, salt, and enough water into a smooth paste. Keep it aside.- 6
Now let’s prepare the potato masala.- 7
Heat a teaspoon of oil, add mustard seeds. When they start to splutter, add urad dal.- 8
As the dal starts changing colour, add cumin seeds and roasted gram. Sauté for a few seconds.- 9
Add crushed ginger, garlic, green chillies, and curry leaves. Sauté till the raw smell disappears.- 10
Add chopped onion, turmeric powder, salt, and a pinch of asafoetida. Mix well and sauté until the onion is fully cooked.- 11
Now add the mashed potatoes and mix well with the masala.- 12
Add chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. (Check salt and adjust if needed.) Your masala is ready.- 13
To assemble the dosa:- 14
Heat a tawa and pour a ladleful of dosa batter. Spread it thin and evenly, like a regular masala dosa.- 15
Drizzle some oil or ghee.- 16
Spread the chilli chutney evenly over the dosa.- 17
Place some potato masala in the center and fold the dosa.- 18
Mysore Masala Dosa is ready. Serve hot! - 2
