I’ve been craving masala dosa for a while, and we finally made some drool worthy and super flavorful potato masala. We made the dosa using store bought batter and the chutney link is included at the end of the post.
Ingredients:
Oil – 2 tbsp
Cumin – 1 tsp
Mustard seeds – 1 tsp (optional)
Curry leaves – 3-4
Onion – 1 (chopped)
Asafoetida (Hing) – 1 tsp
Green chilli – 3 (slit/chopped)
Turmeric – 1/2 tsp
Chilli powder – 2 tsp
Tomato puree – 1/2 cup (OR Tomato Paste – 1 tbsp)
Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp
Salt – as per taste
Lemon juice or conc. – 1 tsp
Potato -4
Step 1: Boil potato in water. I pressure cooked it in the instant pot for 17 mins. Once done, drain hot water, fill with cold. Let it cool until you’re able to hold onto it. Peel.
Step 2: Heat some oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and curry leaves. Once this splutters add in the onions. Gradually add in the green chilli & saute until onions start browning. When they’re almost done add in ginger-garlic paste. Let it cook for 1-2 on low flame.
Step 3: Add in tomato puree, turmeric, chilli & asafoetida.
Step 4: After 5 mins, add in the potatoes. Chop & mash according to how you’d like it. I’m leaving them chunky as I like them that way.
Step 5: Add in a cup of water (Add more if you need to). Mix well and cook for 5 mins. Adjust salt as per taste.
Enjoy with crisp dosa and coconut chutney like we did! 🙂
