Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Pour 0.5 cup batter into the center and immediately spread it thin with the back of a ladle in concentric circles until paper-thin and lacy.

  3. Step 3

    Cook 90 seconds until the bottom turns golden and crispy, then flip gently and cook the other side 30 seconds until set.

  4. Step 4

    Toss cubed potatoes with sambar powder, salt, and the sliced onion and chili in a small bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the spiced potato filling down the center of the dosa, fold it into a cone or roll, and transfer to a plate.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar on the side.
