Masala dosa
« on: February 03, 2021, 06:24 PM »
Probably my fourth attempt, and I think that I can finally claim success on this occasion.  MTR dosa mix with extra whole fenugreek seeds and salt, left to ferment for several hours rather than the five minutes stated but otherwise to spec., then thinned with just a little water and whisked immediately before cooking; MTR sambar mix, made about 1/2 as thick as recommended with added mustard seeds and softened curry leaves; simple potato and onion stuffing, with just a little carrot for colour, cooked with salt, turmeric, black mustard seeds, softened curry leaves and a little hing.

Nice one Phil, I love masala dosa but never tried making them. First time I had them was I think in Ahmedabad and no kidding it must?ve been 18? long.  So tasty.  Need to give that a go.

Yes, the ones from Sunny Spice are huge as well, but I am increasingly coming to the view that as a take-away they just don't work (they get too soggy), which is why I am trying to replicate them at home.  My dosa cooker is only 14" in diameter, but I find that that is large enough.

Looking good, Phil. A 14" horn of plenty! Maybe "only" potato and onion, but I bet it was filling. Perhaps some green chilli too?

No chilli on this occasion, Onions, but I may well try adding a little in the future.  Thank you for the suggestion !
