When I saw the post by Cham for an Instant Dosa mix, I knew I was going to have to try it... though I figured it would turn out like any of my other attempts and only disappoint me. Turns out, I was anything but disappointed! The original recipe came from Essence of Andhra... along with some more appealing pictures calling me to try this recipe. I used up the first batch already, It's been less than a week, and now I'm going to have to make more... maybe a double batch! Thanks, Cham, for bringing Uma's recipe to my attention!!!
Along with it, I made the masala filling I found in Betty Crocker's Indian Home Cooking... Surprised? I doubt it, I cook from this book almost weekly! If i'm not cooking from this, I'm cooking from some other Betty Crocker book :P The filling consisted of black mustard seed, chana dal, cashews, asafetida, turmeric, potatoes, cilantro, ginger, fresh chilies, and curry leaves. It had also called for tomato, which I didn't have, so I left out. This didn't matter, it was still awesome!
I also made a chutney, which I just came up with using whatever I had... I wanted a green chutney, but no fresh mint... I wanted an onion chutney, but wanted to use up my fresh cilantro... So this is what I came up with ...
- 2 green chilies (wow, maybe I will use 1 next time :D)
- 1 red onion
- 2 handfuls fresh cilantro
- 2 tsp. tamarind paste
"This is my hope. This is my prayer"

~ Thanks, Anjum!
~ Thanks Malar, I've also never had it with tomatoes so I didn't think it would matter much without it :)
~ Thanks, Cham... I am really glad Uma shared such a recipe with everybody!
The dosa looks soooo good. I don't add tomatos in the filling either and i love it too. Looks yum!
What a lovely plate meeso..thats really nice and tasty looking!
You know not many Indians can make this..........I love the amount of interest and passion you put into your cooking.
Wow a big congragulations meeso for making this masala dosa. They are my favourite.
Looks really yummy delicious.
wow, wow you actually tried this dosa! Thanks for your sweet words Meeso! I am glad you liked this. Thanks to Cham too for bringing my dosa recipe into limelight. Chutney sounds great. You rolled the dosa just like in the restaurants. Great Job!
Seems like this great recipe is gonna travel even further :) I admit to not having known about dosas,but I am happy to have been aquainted through you! This is definitely something Im dying to try..hope I find all the ingredients here,(I know there is all but the urad flour-not sure,do u think it would work if I ommited that one..?)and I especially hope i`ll survive that seemingly 'tricky' phase on the pan...hmmmm...thanx hun!
~ Thanks, Vibaas... I doubt if I'd ever add tomatoes, the filling was good!
~ Thanks, Srivalli!
~ Thanks, n33ma (sorry I don't know your name) I have been practicing the cuisine for 8 years now!
~ Thanks, Happy cook!
~ Thanks again, Uma, for sharing the recipe! I really enjoyed the ease! It's definitely a keeper!!!
~ Hi, Mia... If you get a chance, get a dosa next time you are at an Indian restaurant! There are so many different varieties, I'm sure you would love them! I could not get urad flour in my grocery, so I used moong... I doubt it would work well, or taste like a dosa without the dal flour, but you can make your own by grinding the dal in your processor... I've done this with garbanzo beans to make besan... It's very, very LOUD, though! As far as the pan goes... I struggled for awhile, and still do once in awhile, and still need to get better... It's definitely something that takes practice! Good luck!
Perfect dosa. Looks so good, Nice recipe. YUM!
Those look a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!
