Description
Instant Potato Dosa is a quick, crispy South Indian crepe stuffed with spiced potato filling. Unlike traditional fermented batter dosa, this version uses rice flour, semolina, and instant potato flakes for an easy, no-ferment recipe. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or even dinner, it pairs beautifully with coconut chutney, sambar, or vegetable curry.
Ingredients
Scale
For the dosa batter:
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup semolina (rava/sooji)
- 1/2 cup instant potato flakes (or boiled mashed potatoes)
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups water (adjust consistency)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- Oil or ghee for cooking
For the potato masala filling:
- 3 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 green chilies, chopped
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 8–10 curry leaves
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp oil
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Potato Masala: Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, and chilies. Sauté until onions turn golden. Add turmeric and mashed potatoes. Season with salt and garnish with coriander. Set aside.
- Prepare the Batter: Mix rice flour, semolina, potato flakes, salt, and cumin seeds in a bowl. Gradually whisk in water to form a thin, pourable batter.
- Cook the Dosa: Heat a dosa skillet or non-stick griddle. Lightly grease with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter, spreading thinly in a circle. Drizzle oil around edges and cook until golden and crisp.
- Fill and Serve: Place potato masala in the center. Fold dosa and serve hot with chutney or sambar.
Notes
- Preheat the skillet well before pouring batter for best crispiness.
- Use ghee instead of oil for richer flavor.
- Always stir the batter before making each dosa.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle sesame seeds before cooking.
- Potato filling can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 2 days.
