Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice
• 0.5 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
• 3 medium Cooked potatoes
• 0.5 cup Grated low sodium cheese
• 8 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 chopped Green chilies
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice and urad dal separately and soak them in water for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Drain the soaked rice and urad dal. Combine them and blend with 1 cup of water into a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.

Step 3

Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover it, and let it ferment at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours or until it has doubled in size and has a slightly sour aroma.

Step 4

Peel and mash the cooked potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add the chopped green chilies, turmeric powder, and salt substitute. Mix well.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When they begin to splutter, add curry leaves and the potato mixture. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Stir the dosa batter well. If thickened, add a bit of water to reach a spreadable consistency.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick pan or a griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a few drops of oil.

Step 8

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan and spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 9

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges. Cook until the edges start to lift, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle some grated cheese over the dosa, then spread a portion of the potato mixture over one half of the dosa. Fold the dosa over into a semi-circle.

Step 11

Cook for another minute, then remove from the pan. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.

Step 12

Serve the dosas hot with a side of low sodium chutney or yogurt for a complete meal.
