Step 1
In a blender, combine 1 cup grated coconut, 2 tbsp yogurt, 1 green chili, 1/4 tsp salt, and 2-3 tbsp water. Blend until smooth, scraping down as needed, about 2 minutes. Transfer chutney to a bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Thinly slice the 1 small onion and 1 small tomato; chop 2 tbsp coriander leaves. Keep them separate for serving.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour 1/2 cup of dosa batter into the center and quickly spread it in a circular motion to form a thin, even layer.
Step 4
Drizzle 1 tsp oil around the edges and cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. The edges should lift easily with a spatula.
Step 5
Fold the dosa in half and slide onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stirring it occasionally to keep it uniform.
Step 6
Serve each dosa hot with a spoonful of coconut chutney, and top with the sliced onion, tomato, and coriander leaves. Add extra salt or chili if you like.
Step 7
For a spicier chutney, add a small piece of ginger or a few curry leaves when blending. Store leftover batter in the fridge for up to 2 days.
