Step-wise Instructions on how to make butter masala dosa:
How to make masala dosa batter
- Combine the urad dal, and rice in a mixing bowl. Soak for three Hours in clean water after a couple of washes.
- After 3 Hours, transfer to the another bowl and wash it once or twice.Drain and set aside the water.
- Based on the size of your mixer jar, add the soaked and drained rice-dal mixture in portion. then mix it everything together until it’s a smooth paste or thick paste.While grinding, do not pour all of the water in at once. The best method is to add water gradually.
- Fill a mixing bowl halfway with batter. Cover and ferment it for six hours or overnight. Store it in the refrigerator after the batter has fermented until ready to use.
How to Make Potato Masala or Dosa Masala
- A pan should be filled with oil. When the pan is hot, add the mustard seeds. Add them in when the urad daal and curry leaves start to splutter. Add the garlic and simmer for a few seconds once the urad daal has lightened in color.
- With the onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and salt, sauté for a minute. Stir in the potato chunks thoroughly. Cook covered over medium heat for about ten minutes, or until potatoes are cooked.
- Softly mash a couple of potatoes with the spatula if necessary. It’s entirely up to you. Coriander leaves should be thoroughly mixed in. Turn the stove off.
How To Make Spicy Green Chutney
- Combine all chutney ingredients in a blender jar or mixer jar with very little water (we want a medium-thick chutney to spread on the Dosa). Place this in a bowl.
How To Make Delicious Butter Masala Dosa
- Preheat the dosa tawa or pan over medium heat. Apply a light oil coating to a cast-iron pan and wipe away any excess grease with a kitchen towel or tissue. If using a nonstick tawa or pan, no grease is necessary.
- Mix salt into the dosa batter thoroughly. If the batter is too thick, a little water can be added. Once the pan is heated, take a spoonful of batter and spread it out as thinly as possible in a circular motion. Dollop butter onto the Dosa and distribute it around.
- Spread 1 or 2 tsp chutney on top of the crispy golden areas. Then, put potato bhaji on one side of the Dosa and flip over the other half.
Serve and enjoy!
