Garlic Pepper Dosa

Garlic Pepper Dosa is a tantalizing twist on the traditional South Indian dosa, infused with the aromatic flavors of garlic and the gentle heat of black pepper. This crispy, golden-brown crepe is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even as a side dish. Served with coconut chutney or sambar, it promises a delicious experience that evokes the vibrant street food culture of southern India. The origins of dosa can be traced back over a thousand years, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of India.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Dosa batter
2 cups (fermented)
Garlic
4 cloves, finely chopped
Black pepper
1 teaspoon, freshly ground
Salt
to taste
Oil
for cooking (preferably coconut or vegetable oil)
Coconut chutney
for serving
Sambar
optional, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the dosa batter, finely chopped garlic, freshly ground black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  2. Heat a dosa pan or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a few drops of oil.
  3. Pour a ladleful of the prepared batter onto the center of the pan. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
  4. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds.
  6. Once cooked, fold the dosa in half or quarters and remove it from the pan. Place on a warm plate.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  8. Serve the Garlic Pepper Dosa hot with a side of coconut chutney and optionally sambar for dipping.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick, try adding finely chopped green chilies to the batter.
  • 💡 You can also mix in some chopped cilantro or curry leaves for added flavor.
  • 💡 Ensure your dosa batter is fermented properly for the best results; it should have a slightly tangy flavor.
