• 1 green chili, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

Instructions

Prepare the Dosa Batter

1. Soak Ingredients:
   • Rinse the rice and urad dal together with fenugreek seeds in water. Soak them for at least 6–8 hours or overnight.
2. Blend:
   • Drain the soaked ingredients and blend them with a little water until you achieve a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
3. Ferment:
   • Allow the batter to ferment in a warm place for about 8–12 hours. It should rise and have a slightly sour smell.

Prepare the Masala Filling

4. Cook Spices:
   • In a pan, heat some oil and add mustard seeds. Once they start to splutter, add cumin seeds, curry leaves, and chopped onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
5. Add Potatoes:
   • Stir in the green chili, turmeric powder, and mashed potatoes. Mix well and season with salt. Cook for a few minutes until everything is combined. Add fresh coriander if desired.

Make Dosas

6. Cook Dosas:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil.
   • Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the skillet and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin layer.
   • Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook until the bottom is golden brown.
   • Flip and cook for another minute if desired.

Assemble the Burger

7. Fill the Dosa:
   • Place a portion of the potato masala filling in the center of each dosa and fold it over like a taco.
8. Prepare Buns:
   • Toast burger buns lightly on a skillet if desired.
9. Assemble:
   • Place lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and the dosa with masala in between the buns.
   • Add chutney if using.
