Muttai Dosai Recipe (Egg Dosa)

Balasahana Suresh
Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dosa batter (fermented rice and urad dal batter)
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper or chili powder (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsp oil or ghee
  • Chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, coriander leaves (optional toppings)
Instructions:

1. Prepare Batter: If you don’t have ready dosa batter, you can use store-bought or prepare your own fermented batter. Make sure the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

2. Heat Pan: Heat a non-stick tava or griddle on medium-high heat. Grease lightly with oil.

3. Make the Dosai: Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the pan and spread thin in a circular motion.

4. Add Eggs: Break 2 eggs into a bowl, whisk with salt and pepper/chili powder. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the dosa as soon as the batter is spread.

5. Cook: Let the eggs set on medium heat. You can cover the dosa with a lid to help the eggs cook evenly.

6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander leaves on top while the eggs are cooking, if desired.

7. Flip and Cook: Once the eggs are cooked and the dosa base is crisp and golden, carefully fold and remove from heat.

8. Serve: Serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or tomato chutney.
