Aloo dosa is a beloved and iconic South Indian breakfast and snack staple, rivaling the popularity of Idli. Both of these dishes have garnered a massive global following, transcending regional boundaries to become sought-after street food and restaurant favorites. Despite their South Indian origins, aloo dosa and idli have won hearts worldwide, earning a permanent spot on the menus of Indian restaurants everywhere. Today in this article, we’ll learn how you can prepare delicious aloo dosa at home in just 5 easy steps.
Ingredients For Aloo Dosa
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 2 tablespoons chickpea flour (besan)
- 3 tablespoons rice flour
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed powder
- 1 finely chopped Jalapeno pepper
- 2 grated potatoes
- Chopped spinach (1 cup, optional)
- Chopped cilantro (1/4 cup, optional)
- Turmeric powder (1 teaspoon, optional)
- Paprika (1 teaspoon, optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Cooking oil, as needed
Aloo Dosa Recipe
- Combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, chickpea flour, flaxseed powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Next, add the minced jalapeno, chopped spinach, and cilantro to the bowl. Mix until well combined. Incorporate the grated potatoes into the mixture. You can use boiled or raw potatoes in this recipe.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, blending well after each addition, until a thick and smooth batter forms, similar to dosa batter. To enhance the flavour and colour, stir in the turmeric and paprika.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour a ladle of batter onto it. Spread the batter evenly to form a pancake-like shape. Drizzle a small amount of oil around the edges and cook until both sides are golden brown, flipping occasionally. Note that this dosa cooks slightly slower than others, so be patient. To expedite the cooking process, you can cover the skillet with a lid.
- Serve these delicious Indian crepes fresh, paired perfectly with a dollop of your favorite chutney, such as Coriander Mint Chutney, for a truly authentic and flavourful experience.
