My husband’s all time favourite breakfast with classic Coconut Chutney comes as today’s post.Masala Dosa is made by stuffing dosa with potatoes, onions, green chillies and spices.It is one of the favourite foods in the world and many of the foreign countries serve it with pride.Whenever we go out to eat at MTR or CTR the famous restaurants here,this will be on the list.This is a tasty dosa variety with potato stuffing and tastes delicious when dollop of ghee is added on top.The potato filling is almost the same as I made for Puri Masala, but I don’t add water as I did for Puri Masala.I keep the curry filling dry.

The process of making Masala Dosa may sound lengthy but it is worth it.I usually use the Idli Batter for making Dosa.I use the batter for making Idlis on the first day and second day I make Dosas with them.But you have to add water to make the consistency thin for making Dosa. The leftover Idli batter can be refrigerated and made use of making Dosas. You can also make Dosas using Dosa Batter which I have posted earlier.I have made Dosas using Idli batter here.Whichever procedure you choose make sure you ferment the batter well.Masala Dosa was ranked 4th on the list 10 foods to try before you die by the Huffington Post.So try out this delicious breakfast and let me know.
