Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped onions, green chilies, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onions turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and turmeric powder, mixing well.
- Add the mashed potatoes to the spinach mixture and combine thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the pan and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Place a generous portion of the spinach-potato masala in the center of the dosa. Fold the dosa from both sides to form a roll.
- Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar on the side.
