Remove the batter into a bowl and place it uncovered in a dark warm place to ferment for at least 12 hours or overnight. After the batter has fermented mix it and add some salt to correct the seasoning. the batter has to be thick but pouring. Correct the consistency with some more water if the batter is very thick. |

Heat a flat pan or tawa, drizzle very little oil and then sprinkle with water. The pan should be hot enough for water to immediately steam off. To prepare a masala dosa fill a laddle (80gms approx) with the batter and pour it in the centre of the pan. Using the back of the laddle in a spiral motion thinly spread the batter and make into a round crepe. Cook for 2 mins and then drizzle some melted butter or oil on top. (In case you want a crispy dosa then using a flat spoon scrape the top of the dosa to remove excess batter.) Place a small portion of potato masala in the centre, spread it a little and then scrape and lift the dosa from one side and start rolling. Remove and serve hot. |
