Ingredients

Idli dosa batter - I always use my idli batter for dosa as well.

Take required portion of fluffy idli dosa batter.
Add little water and mix well to dilute it for flowing consistency. Take care not to add too much of water.

Vegetables - I used cauliflower, cabbage, capsicum, beans, carrot along with onion and tomato.

Spices - This plays important role in the flavor. So add generously to balance the taste. Adding less may make the stuffing bland.

Ginger garlic paste - Important for flavor.

Variations

Deluxe - Use a tablespoon of cashew paste for richer stuffing with balanced taste. Also use your favorite masala spice mix - Biryani masala, pav bhaji masala, kitchen king masala anything!

Spicy - Add 2 slit or finely chopped green chilli along onion.

Kids friendly - Add some grated beetroot for lovely colour and reduce spice. You can add some cashews while tempering.

How to make vegetable filling for dosa

Firstly, heat a pan with oil and temper with cumin seeds.
Secondly, add finely chopped onion and saute till translucent.

3. After that, add ginger garlic paste, green chilli if adding. Then add finely chopped tomato, all spices powders and salt.

4. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes in medium flame until it turns mushy. Add the vegetables, ¼ cup water and cook covered for 5-6 minutes.

Let the vegetable retain crunchiness.

Once the vegetables are done and water content reduces, continue cooking until the masala turns shiny. (oil oozes out)

Finally garnish with coriander leaves.

Now let's see how to make that special vegetable dosa!

Prepare idli dosa batter as needed firstly.

2. Heat a tawa and spread thin dosa over medium heat. Drizzle oil or ghee generously. Then, smear the dosa with dosa spatula to ensure even cooking.

3. After that, put the flame to low to ensure crisp, golden dosa base. Then place 3-4 tablespoons of prepared masala over center of the dosa. Fold from three sides to close the dosa as shown below.

Serve immediately. Enjoy vegetable masala dosa hot with chutney, sambar.
