STUFFED DOSA

This Stuffed dosa would be a great addition to a breakfast or weeknight dinner. Dosa batter is made by soaking and grinding urad dal and short grain rice (idli rice) to a paste and fermented. Dosa batter is readily available at the Indian store if you don’t have the time to make it at home. Make the filling and Chutney; the meal is ready. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables in the stuffing.

Hi everyone, my name is Aswathy. Welcome to Aswathy's Kitchen where you can find sweet and savory recipes to enjoy!

All of the photography is done by my husband, Kuruvilla and my daughter, Tia. Taste testing is provided by my close friends and family. Thanks for being part of this journey and all your support.

Ingredients and Instructions
  • Cabbage chopped                0.5 cup
  • Onion, sliced                       1 cup
  • Carrot, grated                      0.5 cup
  • Green peas                          0.25 cup
  • Mushroom, sliced                1 cup
  • Tomato, chopped                0.5 cup

Chop, slice and grate all the vegetables and set aside. You can substitue the listed vegetables with your favorite, but the toal amount should be close to four cups.

  • Garlic, chopped                      1 tbs
  • Ginger, chopped                     2 tsp
  • Green chili, sliced thin           2 tbs
  • Curry leaves                           3 sprigs

Chop ginger, garlic and green chilies. Set these aside, along with curry leaves.

  • Turmeric powder                    0.5 tsp
  • Chili powder                           0.5 tsp
  • Garam masala powder            1 tsp

Measure spices and set them aside.

Heat two tablespoon coconut oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium high heat. Sauté onion until it becomes translucent but not brown. Add ginger, garlic, green chili, curry leaves and one teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Stir in Turmeric, chili powder and Garam masala. Mix everything well. Add rest of the vegetables, cover and cook for two minutes. Turn the heat to high, take the lid off and continue to cook until the vegetable mixture looks dry. No need to add water as the vegetables will release moisture, especially mushrooms. Take pan from heat and set aside.

Spread dosa batter using a ladle onto a well oiled skillet that has been heating. Add one teaspoon of oil on top and wait till dosa turns light brown and crispy.

Place filling in the middle and fold dosa from both sides. Enjoy!
