Instructions:

1.       Soaking and Grinding the Batter:

·         Rinse the rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately.

·         Soak them in water for about 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

·         Drain the water and grind them separately to a smooth consistency using a blender or a wet grinder.

·         Mix both the rice and dal batter together in a large bowl.

·         Add salt and mix well. The batter should be slightly thick yet flowing. Keep it in a warm place to ferment overnight or for about 8 to 12 hours.

2.       Making the Potato Filling:

·         Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

·         Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

·         Add turmeric powder and mix well.

·         Add the mashed potatoes and salt. Mix everything together and cook for a few minutes.

·         Remove from heat and keep the filling aside.

3.       Making the Masala Dosa:

·         Heat a non-stick dosa tawa or a flat griddle over medium heat.

·         Once hot, spread a ladleful of dosa batter on the tawa in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

·         Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa and on top.

·         Cook the dosa until it turns golden brown and crispy.

·         Spread a portion of the potato filling on one half of the dosa.

·         Fold the dosa over the filling to form a semi-circle or roll it like a cone.

·         Remove from the tawa and serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.

Note: Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling to make more dosas.
