Ingredients

Dosa batter
2 cups
Carrots
1 cup, grated
Onion
1 small, finely chopped
Green chillies
2, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
Coriander leaves
2 tablespoons, chopped
Salt

Oil

Coconut chutney

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dosa batter, grated carrots, chopped onion, green chillies, coriander leaves, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet or a traditional dosa pan over medium heat. If using a cast iron pan, ensure it is well-seasoned.
  3. Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter onto the center and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
  4. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until crispy and golden.
  6. Remove the dosa from the pan and keep it warm in a covered container. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve the carrot dosas hot with coconut chutney and sambar for a complete meal.
