Onion Masala Dosa" is a tantalizing twist on the traditional South Indian dosa, celebrated for its savory flavors and aromatic spices.
The foundation of Onion Masala Dosa is its batter, meticulously prepared from a blend of rice and urad dal (black lentils). This batter undergoes careful fermentation to develop a tangy flavor and airy texture, providing the perfect base for the dosa. To prepare Onion Masala Dosa, a ladleful of the fermented batter is poured onto a hot greased griddle or skillet and spread thinly to form a large, circular crepe. A generous portion of the onion masala filling is spread evenly over one half of the dosa, allowing it to meld with the batter as it cooks. Once the dosa becomes golden brown and crispy on the outside, it is folded and served hot off the griddle.
To add a finishing touch, Onion Masala Dosa may be garnished with fresh cilantro leaves or grated coconut, adding a burst of color and freshness to the dish. Some variations may also include a sprinkle of roasted cashews or sesame seeds for added crunch and texture.
