Sprinkle a generous amount of grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the egg mixture before flipping the dosa.

For a non-vegetarian feast, spread a layer of minced mutton curry (Mutton Keema) over the dosa along with the egg mixture.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, immune function, and overall body maintenance.
The dosa batter, made from fermented rice and lentils, provides complex carbohydrates that are digested slowly, offering a steady supply of energy without causing sharp spikes in blood sugar.
The natural fermentation process of the dosa batter cultivates beneficial probiotics. These microorganisms support a healthy gut microbiome, aiding digestion and improving nutrient absorption.
Yes, in moderation, Muttai Dosai is a well-balanced meal. It provides high-quality protein from eggs, complex carbohydrates from the fermented batter, and vitamins from the onions and herbs. Using minimal oil for cooking enhances its health benefits.
One serving, which consists of two Muttai Dosas, contains approximately 450-550 calories. The exact count can vary based on the thickness of the dosa, the size of the eggs, and the amount of oil used.
Absolutely! Muttai Dosai is an excellent way to use dosa batter that is a day or two old. The slightly sour taste of older batter is beautifully complemented by the rich, savory egg topping.
It pairs exceptionally well with spicy chutneys like Kara Chutney (tomato-onion chutney) or Pudina Chutney (mint chutney). Classic Coconut Chutney and a hot bowl of Sambar are also popular and delicious accompaniments.
Sticking usually occurs if the tawa (pan) is not hot enough before you pour the batter, or if it isn't well-seasoned, especially for cast iron pans. Ensure the tawa is properly preheated and lightly greased before making each dosa.
