Masala dosa recipe with step by step pictures

Masala dosa is one of the most popular and most favorite breakfast of tamilnadu. It is most commonly available for breakfast in all the restaurants. It is made with the same dosa batter which is used to make dosas and is filled with some potato masala and so it is named as masala dosa. It is my most favorite breakfast from my childhood.

Masala dosa is served with Coconut chutney, Coriander chutney, Tomato chutney and Sambar. The Potato masala is made with the usual method of making Potato podimas. I have already shared the recipes using Potato podimas like, Potato bonda and Potato masala for poori. Check that recipes too.
