Mutta Dosa

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Egg Mixture

   • In a medium bowl, crack 8 eggs and whisk them until light and frothy. This will be enough for 8 dosas.
   • To the whisked eggs, add the finely chopped red onion, green chilies, grated ginger, and chopped coriander leaves.
   • Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, black pepper powder, and salt.
   • Mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
2. 2

   Heat and Prepare the Tawa (Griddle)

   • Place a non-stick tawa or a well-seasoned cast iron griddle over medium-high heat.
   • Allow the tawa to get sufficiently hot. To check, sprinkle a few drops of water on it. If they sizzle and evaporate immediately, the tawa is ready.
   • Lightly grease the tawa with a few drops of oil and wipe it with a paper towel or half an onion. This seasons the pan and helps the dosa spread without sticking.
3. 3

   Make the Dosa

   • Before pouring the batter, reduce the heat to medium-low to prevent the dosa from cooking too quickly.
   • Pour a ladleful of dosa batter (about 1/2 cup) onto the center of the hot tawa.
   • Using the back of the ladle, quickly spread the batter in a continuous outward spiral motion to form a thin, even circle.
   • Increase the heat back to medium-high. Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of gingelly oil around the edges and on top of the dosa.
   • Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the bottom turns golden brown and the edges start to lift away from the tawa.
4. 4

   Add Egg Topping and Cook

   • Give the egg mixture a quick stir, then pour about 1/2 cup (equivalent to one egg's worth of the mixture) over the cooking dosa.
   • Using a spoon, quickly and gently spread the egg mixture to cover the entire surface of the dosa.
   • Drizzle another 1/2 teaspoon of oil over the egg.
   • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the egg is fully cooked and set. The dosa should be crispy and golden.
   • Carefully fold the dosa in half.
5. 5

   Serve Immediately

   • Slide the finished Mutta Dosa from the tawa onto a serving plate.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining batter and egg mixture.
   • Serve hot with your choice of accompaniments like coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar.
