Paper Ghee Roast Dosa

🇮🇳 Indian

Paper dosa roasted in a slick of ghee until it crackles, the Tirupati tiffin-room order. The batter does the work; the pan does the magic. Plate with tomato chutney and filter coffee alongside.

Prep 34 min Cook 21 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Ginger1-inch piece
  • Green Chili2
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Rice3/4 cup
  • Potato3 medium, cubed
  • Mustard Seeds1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grind the soaked rice and dal to a thick, fluffy batter — it should ribbon off the spoon — and ferment 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Stir the fermented batter gently; it should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of water only if needed.

  3. 3

    Get the pan properly hot; the first attempt tells you everything about the temperature.

  4. 4

    Pour, spread with the back of the ladle in ever-widening circles, and trickle oil down the sides.

  5. 5

    Cook till the underside is gold and lacy and the top loses its raw look, then flip or remove; serve immediately — they wait for no one.

Chef's tip

Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
