Crispy Potato Dosa from Raw Potatoes

If you’re bored of the same dosa every day, try this incredible crispy potato dosa made from raw potatoes. It’s super tasty, quick to make, and perfect for breakfast or even tiffin. No fermentation, no soaking rice—just a smart shortcut that works like magic.

Ingredients

• 1 cup semolina (suji/rava)
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (maida)
• 1 large potato (about 200g), washed and chopped
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• 2 green chilies
• Salt to taste
• ½ cup yogurt + ¼ cup water
• A pinch of baking soda (optional, for extra crisp)

Coconut-Chili Chutney (optional topping)

• ½ cup fresh coconut
• 2–3 green chilies
• Roasted chana dal (2 tbsp)
• ½ tsp cumin, pinch salt, 2 tbsp yogurt
• A little fresh coriander and ginger
• Tempering: ½ tsp urad dal, mustard seeds, red chilies & curry leaves

Instructions

1. Prepare Batter

1. In a mixer, grind potato with cumin seeds, green chilies until it’s mashed but not watery.
2. Add yogurt and water, blend to a smooth potato-yogurt mix.
3. Slowly mix this into semolina‑maida mix, stirring gently to avoid lumps. Let rest for 5 minutes.
4. If the batter thickens too much, thin it slightly. Add a pinch of baking soda only if needed.

2. Make Chutney

• Pulse coconut, chilies, roasted dal, cumin, salt, yogurt, coriander, and ginger until smooth.
• Temper with hot oil, urad dal, mustard seeds, chili, curry leaves. Pour over chutney.

3. Cook the Dosa

1. Heat cast‑iron or non-stick griddle; rub with half an onion so dosa doesn’t stick.
2. Pour moderate batter in centre, spread from centre outward lightly.
3. Drizzle oil or ghee around edges; cover with lid if needed.
4. Cook on medium-low flame until golden-brown and crispy—don’t rush.
5. Flip if you like extra crunch; cook another 1–2 minutes.

4. Serve

• Fold dosa and serve hot with prepared coconut-chili chutney, or ketchup if you prefer. The outside is crispy, inside light and fluffy—just the way a perfect instant aloo dosa should be.
