Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 dosas
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
- 1 cup dosa batter
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the sweet potato filling. Take the two large sweet potatoes, wash them thoroughly, and boil them in water until they are tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water and let them cool slightly before peeling and mashing them in a bowl.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup of chopped onions, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander, and salt to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set this filling aside.
- Next, prepare your dosa batter if you haven't done so already. You can use store-bought dosa batter or make your own by soaking rice and urad dal (split black gram) overnight, grinding them into a smooth batter, and fermenting it for a few hours.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease it with oil or ghee to prevent sticking.
- Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the center of the skillet and quickly spread it in a circular motion to form a thin, even layer. The size of the dosa can be adjusted according to your preference.
- Allow the dosa to cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown. You can drizzle a little oil around the edges to enhance crispiness.
- Once the dosa is cooked, place a generous amount of the sweet potato filling in the center of the dosa. Fold the dosa over the filling to create a semi-circle or roll it up, depending on your preference.
- Cook for another minute to ensure the filling is heated through and the dosa is crispy. Remove the dosa from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.
- Serve the sweet potato masala dosa hot with coconut chutney and sambar for a delicious meal. Enjoy!
Tips
- Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Opt for large, firm sweet potatoes that are free from blemishes for the best flavor and texture in your filling.
- Perfecting the Dosa Batter: If making your own batter, ensure it's well-fermented for a light and crispy dosa. A good fermentation time is crucial for that perfect texture!
- Control the Heat: Keep your skillet at medium heat to prevent burning the dosas. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a consistent cooking temperature.
- Grease Lightly: Use just a small amount of oil or ghee to grease the skillet before pouring in the batter, ensuring a crispy exterior without excess greasiness.
- Experiment with Fillings: Feel free to add other ingredients to your sweet potato filling, such as green chilies for heat or peas for added texture and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Dosas are best enjoyed hot and fresh off the skillet. Pair them with coconut chutney and sambar for a complete meal experience.
- Batch Cooking: If you're making a large quantity, keep cooked dosas warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.Enjoy cooking and savor every bite of this delicious dish!
