Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add diced potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in sambhar powder and sliced onion. Cook 1 minute until fragrant, then transfer to a plate. Wipe skillet clean.

  3. Step 3

    Heat remaining 2 tbsp ghee over medium-high until it pools and shimmers, about 45 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pour 1/4 cup dosa batter onto skillet and spread in a thin circle with the back of a ladle. Cook without moving until bottom edges turn golden and curl, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip dosa and cook the other side for 1 minute until crispy. Slide onto a plate.

  6. Step 6

    Serve dosa with potato masala on the side, coconut chutney, and sambhar for dipping. Repeat steps 3–5 for second dosa.
