Preparing Masala Dosa:
1. Before beginning the preparation, mix the batter well with little salt.
2. Heat the Dosa tawa/pan.. Smear little oil, if you are using a cast-iron pan. Do not smear oil if you are using a non-stick pan. You will not be able to spread the batter then.
3. In the middle of the pan, pour a ladle full of batter. Spread the batter in a circular motion, thus spreading the batter on the pan.
4. Sprinkle little oil on the dosa and edges.
5. Cook till it becomes golden and crisp.
6. Keep about 2-3 tablespoon of cooked potato masala in the centre of dosa. Fold it into half.
7. Serve hot with Sambar and Coconut Chutney.
