    • 2 cups of rice flour
    • 1 cup of urad flour
    • Salt
    • Water
    • Oil (any type)
    • 2-3 white potatoes (or any other type)

    • 1 green chili pepper
    • A pinch of fenugreek (methi) powder
    • 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder
    • 1 twig of curry leaves

    Steps:

    For dosa mix:

    1. Combine rice flour, urad flour, about a tsp of salt, and water in a bowl until the mix has reached the same consistency, adding water when necessary.
    2. Leave the mix out for 1 day to have it be raised and turn a little sour.

    For masala mixture:

    1. Peel the skin off the potatoes and chop them into smaller pieces.
    2. Add chopped potatoes and about a tsp of salt (or to taste) in a pot with some water and let it cook until potatoes become soft and are a bit easy to mash.
    3. Peel the 1/2 onion and slice them into smaller pieces.
    4. Remove the stem of the green chili and chop it to smaller pieces.
    5. In a frying pan, fry onions and green chilis in some oil until it has reached a golden-brown tinge color. Then add the spices and leaves and combine them all together.
    6. Add onions with the cooked potatoes and combine them all well together.

    To make the dosas:

    1. Coat a frying pan with some oil and let it heat up a little bit.
    2. Take a big spoonful of dosa mix and pour it onto the middle of the frying pan and with the bottom of the spoon, spread that mix in a outward spiral direction until the spread has made into a circle.
    3. To make it crispy (optional): As it cooks, you can add a few drops of oil on the outer sides of the dosa spread and a bit in the middle.
    4. Once it seems to be cooked, add masala mixture on one side of the dosa. Then flip the other side of the dosa onto the masala mixture side; closing that side.
    5. Flip the masala dosa when necessary until both sides are a golden brown color.
    6. Serve onto a plate and enjoy!
