    DOSA

    Dosa (Indian savory crepe) is a popular dish in South Indian cuisine. Light, and crispy, filled with Classic Aloo Masala (Potato Stuffing). Dosa makes an excellent breakfast/brunch, lunch, or even dinner for a completely well-balanced meal.

    Dosa is served in Indian restaurants around the globe and is much loved by all ages. I grew up eating dosa, my mom used to make dosa quite often. The batter consists of rice and lentils. Soak rice and lentils overnight and the next day grind it into a smooth consistency batter. Allow batter to ferment for a few hours or it doubles in volume. And there we have a perfect, crisp, appetizing dosa, which I could eat any time of the day.

    VARIATIONS TO RED CHUTNEY ALOO MASALA [MYSORE MASALA DOSA RED CHUTNEY]

    This red chutney aloo masala is a twist to a Classic Aloo Masala, used as a stuffing for masala dosa. You can add any stuff you like. The stuffing should be moist and not wet. 

    Here are a few variations to this red chutney aloo masala recipe my family loves:

    You can use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and enhance the nutritional value of this dish. Carrots, corn, peas, green beans, and cauliflower make a great choice.

    You can prepare this stuffing with cauliflower instead of potato. Thus, keeping it light and healthy.

    Paneer or grated cheese is one of my kid's favorite and a great way to add protein into your diet. Add some crumbled or grated paneer or cheese, along with the potato stuffing.

    TIPS FOR DELICIOUS RED CHUTNEY ALOO MASALA [MYSORE MASALA DOSA RED CHUTNEY]

    Use boiled or baked potatoes to make this stuffing. I use my Instant Pot to cook the potatoes. Potatoes are cooked to perfection in a fraction of a time. Here's how I make it - Instant Pot Baked Potatoes.

    The consistency of the potato stuffing is moist and thick. If it is too runny, or wet, the dosa will turn soggy.
