Number Of Ingredients 24

For masala filling:
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1/3 cup dried grated unsweetened coconut
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 (3-inch) fresh jalapeño, coarsely chopped, including seeds
1 (2 1/2-inch) piece peeled ginger, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups water, divided
1 large onion, chopped (about 3 cups)
1 (15-to 19-ounces) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup frozen peas (do not thaw)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
For rava dosas:
1/2 cup semolina flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
Vegetable oil for brushing

Steps:

  • Make Masala filling:
  • Peel potatoes and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to a bowl and cover with cold water.
  • Toast coconut in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and wipe out skillet. Toast cumin seeds in skillet over medium heat, shaking skillet frequently, until fragrant and just a shade darker, about 30 seconds. Transfer to another small bowl. Reserve skillet.
  • Purée jalapeño, ginger, and garlic in a blender with curry powder, cinnamon, turmeric, oil, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon salt until smooth. Transfer purée to skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes, then add to onion mixture with cumin seeds and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are barely tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add chickpeas and remaining 1 1/2 cups water, scraping up any brown bits, then briskly simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 16 to 20 minutes more. Add peas and cook, covered, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in toasted coconut and cilantro.
  • Make dosas while potatoes cook:
  • Whisk flours, cumin seeds, salt, and water in a bowl.
  • Generously brush a 12-inch nonstick skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Pour 1/2 cup batter into skillet, swirling until bottom is coated. Cook, undisturbed, until dosa is set and edges are golden, about 2 minutes. Flip using a rubber spatula and cook dosa until underside is golden in spots, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate. Make more dosas with remaining batter, stacking and covering loosely with foil to keep warm. To serve, spoon masala filling into dosas.

These dosas were a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. The masala was also very easy to make.

Not bad, but I've had better dosas. The masala was a bit bland for my taste.

Delicious! The dosas were crispy and flavorful, and the masala was rich and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.

The batter was a bit too runny, which made it difficult to spread evenly in the pan. The dosas also stuck to the pan a bit.

The dosas were a bit too thick for my taste, but the masala was spot-on. Overall, a good recipe.

My first time making dosas, and they turned out great! The batter was easy to work with, and the dosas cooked evenly. The potato-chickpea masala was also delicious – just the right amount of spice.

These rava dosas with potato-chickpea masala were fantastic! The dosas were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the masala was flavorful and hearty. I especially loved the combination of the tangy tomatoes, creamy coconut milk, and spic
