Today's recipe for Cooking Carnival for dosa with stuffing, is Kanchipuram masala dosa.I have shared a version of Kanchipuram Dosa for this carnival for a different theme. But this dosa is with a colorful stuffing along with potato masala.
I don't know this dosa exists in restaurants menu,but a friend of mine shared the recipe.The recipe sounds interesting and checked in the internet for reference.
Most the recipes are more or less same as the recipe given by my friend.Regular fermented dosa batter is used to make this dosa.
Also a curry made with grated carrot,beetroot and onion is called Kanchipuram masala is used along with the potato masala.The dosa is topped with a generous amount of idly podi gives a very nice taste.The dosa tastes good as such but I served mine with almond chutney.Off to the recipe......................
