Soft Masala Dosa with Red chutney

Dosa is a fermented crepe made from rice batter and black lentils. It is a staple dish in South Indian states of Tamil nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Telangana. Its a common breakfast dish and street food, and high in carbohydrates, and contains no sugar or saturated fats. As its constituent ingredients are rice and urad dal, it is also a source of protein. The fermentation process increases the vitamin B and vitamin C content. Dosa are considered a high Glycemic index food and should be avoided by diabetics. Dosa are low in calorie. Dosa can be stuffed with fillings of vegetables and sauces to make a quick meal. 



Its rice based Masala Dosa with Potato filling eaten along with sambar and coconut chutney. It's fantastic aroma which wafts the air! The difference between regular Masala dosa and this soft Masala Dosa is the garlic chutney which is spread thinly over the dosa before the potato curry is laid over it !! The texture of the dosas may be either thin and crisp or have a crisp exterior with a spongy uttapam like interior. And here I am not making this Dosa crispy...It will be soft from outside and from inside too. Though this Dosa cannot be replaced by anything else, for commercial purpose lot of varieties of dosas can be stuffed with different varieties of vegetables including cheese and Paneer. So check out step by step recipe below and Enjoyyy this delicious breakfast recipe.
