Masala Dosa | Masala Dosa Recipe

February 3, 2014

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

King of all dosas,  Masala dosa is one of top 5 favorite breakfast item for me and my family.  It is a common breakfast dish in southern part of India. Indian crepe made up of rice and black lentil served with potato-masala stuffing is well known as Masala dosa. The crisp crest with soft interior masala dosa  is said to be originated in Udupi.  Large rectangular iron griddle or tawa is required in order make big restaurant style masala dosas. But using the same small home based dosa griddle too, you can make this dosa without compromising in taste.


I have hunkered down at my desk getting this post put together but interrupted hundred and one time by my kids requesting snacks, toys or stuff like that. Motherhood teaches a lot in a very short span of time right? It is when you become a mother, you realize how much your mother has gone through in raising you.  A big salute to  my mother and mothers worldwide. Now take a look at recipe.
