Instructions
1
Soak rice and dals separately for 6 hours. Drain. Grind rice with minimal water to a slightly grainy paste. Grind dals to a smooth paste.
2
Combine batters in a large bowl. Add salt and mix well. Cover and ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours until doubled and bubbly.
3
For potato filling: Heat oil, add mustard seeds and cumin. When they pop, add curry leaves, green chilies, and ginger.
4
Add onions and saute until golden. Add turmeric and mashed potatoes. Mix well and season with salt. Keep warm.
5
To make dosas: Heat a cast iron or non-stick pan. Test with drops of water - they should sizzle.
6
Pour a ladleful of batter in the center. Quickly spread in circular motions from center outward to make a thin crepe.
7
Drizzle oil around edges. Cook until golden and crispy underneath. Place potato filling in center and fold.
8
Serve immediately with coconut chutney and sambar.
