Ingredients

• 1 cup Urid dal
• 0.5 cup Chana dal
• 0.5 cup Moong dal
• 1 cup Rice
• 0.5 cup Quinoa
• 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
• 2 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 large Potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 pieces Green chilies
• 1 inch Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the urid dal, chana dal, moong dal, rice, and quinoa thoroughly and soak them together in a large bowl with 2 cups of water for at least 4 to 5 hours.

Step 2

Drain the soaked mixture and blend it with fenugreek seeds and 1 cup of fresh water to a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.

Step 3

Add salt to the batter, mix well, and let it ferment in a warm place overnight or for about 8-10 hours until it doubles in volume.

Step 4

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Peel and mash them once cool.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, and let them splutter. Add curry leaves, chopped onions, green chilies, and grated ginger. Saute until onions turn translucent.

Step 6

Add turmeric powder and mashed potatoes to the pan, mix well, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Set the masala aside.

Step 7

Preheat a non-stick pan or a griddle, grease lightly with oil. Pour a ladleful of fermented batter in the center and spread it in circular motions to form a thin dosa.

Step 8

Add a drizzle of oil around the edges. Cook until the dosa turns golden brown and crispy. Place a spoonful of the prepared potato masala in the center.

Step 9

Fold the dosa over the masala, and serve hot with chutney and sambar.
