  8. Add onions, green chillies, ginger, salt and turmeric powder. Cook till onions are translucent. Add tomatoes and cover the lid. Let the tomatoes become mushy.
  9. Add the boiled and mashed potatoes to this and give a good mix until everything is combined. As we are going to add this in to dosa, the masala should be thick. So be careful if you want to add water in this stage. Add very litlle water.
  10. Turn off the heat and sprinkle some coriander leaves.
  11. Now, keep the things ready for dosa. The Dosa batter, Onion Tomato chutney for the base, Potato masala, Idli gun powder, finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, shredded coconut and oil.
  12. Heat a dosa tawa and drizzle some oil on it. Spread the oil all over the tawa using a kitchen tissue or a clean towel. Heat should be high at first.

  14. Cover a lid and cook for a minute. Keep the heat medium to low. Once the top part is almost cooked, spread the onion tomato chutney all over the dosa.
  15. Take a lemon sized portion from the masala filling and place it in the centre of the dosa.
  16. Now, sprinkle the idli gun powder, chopped onions and coriander leaves. Cover the lid and let it cook for half a minute.
  17. Make sure, in the entire process, the dosa should not get charred at the bottom. So, keep the heat from medium to low from the time you start pouring the dosas.
  18. Carefully separate the dosa from the tawa using a perfect ladle and transfer it to a plate.
  19. Serve immediately with some coconut chutney and Enjoy this Royal Open Masala Dosa.
