masala dosa

Ok my Mother in law makes the ultimate masala dosa,trust me she does.

I have no  words to explain her dosa,its just perfect and you will want more,I can have 4 dosas in one shot.I myself don't know how I managed to take these pictures,I just took two clicks and pounced on it.

My MIL puts her heart and soul into each dosa she makes,its so crispy and light and she roasts the dosa a little longer for me,coz I love my dosas crispy.

There are few things to follow ,my mother in law uses only cast iron tawa

the flame matters a lot

she adds maize flour ,semolina and wheat flour and

lots of love .

Below is my version of masala dosa,the batter and potato bhajji recipe are the same.My sister Niriksha akka gave me this idea of using pav bhajji masala (I know weird right,that's what I thought too,but trust me it tastes good.)
*Pour a ladle of dosa batter on the tawa and spread it around.

 *Rub  butter on the dosa,the batter won't stick to the butter,the heat will just melt the butter.

 *Sprinkle pav bhajji masala

 * place potato bhajji on the dosa and fold.
