Hi guys! Its been a minute since I’ve popped on but its been a bit crazy over here. I’m back and ready to share something quick and delicious. Don’t be fooled by this quick recipe. You don’t need to have a dosa to enjoy these potatoes. They are perfect on rice, with bread, in a sandwich, or yes of course with a crispy dosa.
Dosa potatoes are commonly known as aloo (potato) masala in South India and are most commonly served with a dish called Masala Dosas. This dish isn’t very tough to make, and now with the help of my Instant pot it cuts the time in half. I paired this with dosas, sambar (daal), fresh coconut chutney, tamarind chutney and some cilantro/chili chutney. I also used the help of some store bought mix for the actual dosa so dinner was ready in less than 30 minutes.
