    Blend the batter

    Drain the soaked ingredients and reserve the water. Blend them, adding the reserved water gradually as needed, until you have a smooth, fluid batter that can be spread.

  3. 03

    Ferment the batter

    Transfer the batter to a container and cover it without sealing it airtight. Leave it to ferment for 10 hours. Once fermented, gently stir in the salt.

    Cook the potatoes

    Cook the potatoes until tender when pierced, then cut them into pieces.

  5. 05

    Prepare the spiced filling

    Heat some of the oil in a pan and add the cumin. Add the onion, garlic, green chili, and curry leaves; cook until the onion is translucent. Add the turmeric and potatoes, and stir until they are well coated.

  6. 06

    Cook and fill the dosas

    Heat a pan and lightly grease it with the remaining oil. Pour a portion of batter into the center and spread it into thin circles, working from the center outward. Cook each dosa for about 2 minutes, until the underside is golden and the edges lift away. Place the potato filling in the center, fold, and serve hot.
