Spicy Onion Dosa | Roast

Until I saw Coriander adai -Srivalli’s post,last week,, I did not consider dosa to be a part of the Indian Breads category. And when I did realized that, I wanted to make a stuffed dosa for the ‘stuffed bread’s‘ category for the last day of blogging MArathon, Week 4, with the theme – Indian breads.

Masal dosa is something I used to prepare often years ago.But that trend has disappeared and now I just make plain dosas / vegetable uthappams.For a change, I made this spicy onion roast when I had a sudden craving for spicy foods!

I used :

Dosa Batter
Onion – 2, finely chopped
Ginger-Garlic paste – 1 teaspoon
Sambar powder- 1 1/2 teaspoons
Curry leaves- a few, finely chopped
Oil-1 tablespoon
Mustard seeds- 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds- 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste

1. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds.
2. When it splutters, add the ginger garlic paste,curry leaves and saute for a minute.
3. Next add the onions and saute till it turns translucent.
4. Add salt and sambar powder.
5. Cook for a few mire minutes on low flame.
6. Remove from heat and keep aside.
7. Heat a griddle and pour a ladle full of batter in the centre and spread it to the thin circle.
8. When the edges leave the sides, flip it over and cook for 2 minutes,till cooked.
9. Again flip it over and spread a little of the onion mixture on one half of the dosa.
10. Close with the other half and remove from the griddle

Serve hot with sambar / side dish of your choice…

Note :

• Try adding pav bhaji masala or any other spice mix of your choice instead of sambar powder.
• You can increase the quantity of sambar powder or add chili powder to increase the spiciness quotient.
