Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a skillet over medium. Add diced potato and cook 5–6 minutes until golden and tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Stir in sambar powder or paste and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in boiling water, bring to a simmer, and cook 3 minutes until broth is hot.
Step 3
Pour sambar into bowls and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean. Heat 2 tbsp ghee over medium-high until it shimmers.
Step 4
Pour a thin layer of dosa batter into the skillet, spreading it into a thin round with the back of a spoon. Cook until the edges curl and the bottom is golden, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Drizzle 0.5 tbsp ghee around the edges of the dosa. Flip and cook the other side until crispy and golden, ~1 minute. Slide onto a plate.
Step 6
Mix coconut, green chili, and salt in a small bowl to make a quick chutney. Serve dosa with sambar, chutney, and fried onions on the side.
