Potato Dosa (உருளைக்கிழங்கு தோசை)

My grandmother was adept at making different types of dosa. As was the norm in those days, she was using the traditional wet grinding stone (ஆட்டுக்கல்) for making dosa/idly batter! Potato dosa (உருளைக்கிழங்கு தோசை) is one of those dosa recipes. It is soft, tasty and filling. I decided to make potato dosa for a change and happy to share this recipe with you. Please give it a try.

Ingredients:

Par boiled rice or idly rice – 1 teacup or 200ml measure

Potatoes – medium sized, 3 no

Salt – to taste
