Ingredients

- 2 cups
- Carrots
- 1 cup, grated

- 2, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- Coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dosa batter, grated carrots, chopped onion, green chillies, coriander leaves, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or a traditional dosa pan over medium heat. If using a cast iron pan, ensure it is well-seasoned.
- 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.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Remove the dosa from the pan and keep it warm in a covered container. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the carrot dosas hot with coconut chutney and sambar for a complete meal.
Tips
- For added flavor, you can sauté the chopped onions and green chillies in a little oil before mixing them into the batter.
- Feel free to experiment by adding other vegetables like grated zucchini or spinach into the batter for extra nutrition.
- If you prefer a spicier dosa, increase the number of green chillies or add a pinch of red chilli powder.
