CLASSIC MASALA DOSA
A properly made crisp and savory Indian dosa is wonderfully delicious, and fairly simple to make at home, with this caveat: the batter must be fermented overnight for the correct texture and requisite sour flavor. However, once the batter is ready, it can be refrigerated and kept for several days, even a week. With a traditional spicy potato filling, dosas makes a perfect vegetarian breakfast or lunch. Serve them with your favorite chutney.

Steps:
- Make the dosa batter: Put rice in a bowl, rinse well and cover with 4 cups cold water. Put urad dal and fenugreek seeds in a small bowl, rinse well and add cold water to cover. Leave both to soak for 4 to 6 hours.
- Drain rice and dal-fenugreek mixture in separate colanders. Put rice in a food processor, blender or wet-dry grinder. Add 1 cup cold water and grind to a smooth paste. It will take about 10 minutes, and it may be necessary to work in batches. Repeat the process with the dal-fenugreek mixture.
- Combine the two pastes in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together, adding enough water to obtain a medium-thick batter. You should have about 6 cups. Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and set in a warm place. Let ferment until the surface is bubbly, about 8 hours. Stir in the salt. Use the batter straight away or refrigerate for later use. (Batter will keep for up to a week, refrigerated. Thin with water if necessary before proceeding.)
- Make the potato filling: Put ghee in a wide skillet over medium heat. When oil is wavy, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Wait for seeds to pop, about 1 minute, then add red peppers and onion. Cook, stirring until onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt. Add turmeric, asafetida, ginger, curry leaves, garlic and green chile. Stir to coat and let sizzle for 1 minute.
- Add potatoes and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring well to combine, until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Mash potatoes a bit with the back of a wooden spoon. Season well with salt, add cilantro, then set aside at room temperature. (Potato filling may be prepared up to a day in advance.)
- To make dosas, set a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Brush with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Ladle 1/4 cup batter in the center of griddle. Using bottom of ladle, quickly spread batter outward in a circular motion to a diameter of about 7 inches. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon oil over the top. Leave dosa batter to brown gradually until outer edges begin to look dry, about 2 minutes, cooking on one side only. With a spatula, carefully loosen dosa from griddle. Bottom should be crisp and beautifully browned. Spoon 1/2 cup potato filling onto top of dosa, centering it as a strip in the middle of the round dosa. Flatten the potato mixture slightly. Using the spatula, fold the sides of the dosa around the filling to make a cylindrical shape. Serve immediately. Continue making dosas one at a time.

- Simple Dosa or Plain Dosa. The first Dosa is the regular, plain Dosa. There is no rocket science for making this variant, except mastering how to spread the dosa batter evenly to get a round, crispy, elegant dosa, as mentioned above.
- Ghee Roast Dosa. Ghee Roast is my absolute favorite Dosa of all time. They are these super crispy, thin dosas and the best part is that you can make however big you want it to be.
- Masala Dosa. Next up is another popular Dosa variety from the South - Masala Dosa where a filling of potato masala is stuffed in the dosa before serving.
- Set Dosa. Set Dosa are these small, thick, spongy dosas, usually served in a set of three. To make Set Dosa, add a ladleful of dosa batter on a heated pan.
- Podi Dosa. What is Podi Dosa? Before I get into that, let me explain what 'Podi" is. Podi (meaning powder) is a spicy coarse spice powder. It is served by mixing a spoonful of oil, along with Idli or Dosa as an accompaniment (below picture for reference).
- Uthappam. Let's now make some Uthappam, alright? Uthappams are slightly more bigger than Set Dosa, but thicker, all the same. There are different varieties of Uthappams.
- Egg Dosa. Egg Dosa is another easy-to-make Dosa. It is filling and one of the best ways to get in that protein, early on in the day. To make egg dosa, we'll begin by making an Uthappam sized dosa.
