Potato Masala for Dosa

We call this stuffing as "Masala Doshachi Bhaaji" in Marathi. As a kid, I even loved to eat this with chapati. But stuff it inside a crispy dosa and serve it with chutney and sambar for a perfect snack.

Potato Masala

Ingredients

4-5 Medium Yukon gold potatoes, boiled, peeled, cut

salt to taste

A pinch of sugar (optional)

Tempering

1 tbsp oil

1/2 tsp mustard seeds

1/2 tsp asafoetida

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

2 sprigs of curry leaves, torn

1 tsp urad daal

1/2 tsp chana daal

2-3 byadgi dry chilies, halved

1/2 cup chopped onion

Method

0. Pressure cook potatoes, peel and cut into pieces

1. Heat oil in a kadai or wok.

2. Add all the seeds,spices,  chilies and leaves. As they splutter, add onion. Saute till onion is soft.

3. Add cut potatoes, salt and sugar if using.

4. Cover and let it cook till all the ingredients are mixed together.

Note -

1. I love to squeeze half of lemon after the bhaaji is cooked. You can do it if you like.

2. Addition of a pinch of sugar is optional.

3. Sometimes I substitute butternut squash for potatoes just for a variation. In that case, do not use sugar at all since squash is sweet.
