Make the Muttai Kari Dosas
Serve Immediately
Sprinkle a handful of grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the egg masala before folding the dosa for a gooey, cheesy twist.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of Chettinad masala powder along with the other spices to the egg filling for a more robust and peppery flavor profile.
Incorporate finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or green peas into the onion-tomato base before adding the eggs for extra nutrition and texture.
For a different texture, crack an egg directly onto the cooking dosa. Break the yolk, spread it evenly, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chilli powder, and cook until the egg is set before folding.

This dish is quite filling on its own but is traditionally served with accompaniments like coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or a flavorful sambar to complete the meal.
Ensure your tawa is well-seasoned and very hot before pouring the batter. A common trick is to rub the hot surface with a cut onion or a cloth dipped in oil before making each dosa. This seasons the pan and helps prevent sticking.
