Being born and brought up in Bengaluru, and having eaten masala dosa(masale dose) my whole life, it’s almost impossible for me to imagine dosa without this potato masala. A regular in our household, this is a semi-dry potato side dish made with boiled potatoes, onion, ginger, green chilies, mustard seeds, and herbs. It’s a perfect and yummy side dish for dosa and poori, along with coconut chutney.
Over the last couple of years, I have tried cooking this in two-three ways (mostly depending on how much time I had to prepare) and this recipe is by far the most loved by us. It’s simple to make (takes about 20 minutes) and tastes so yummy with dosa and poori. Simply boil cubed potatoes, drain water, gently mash potatoes and keep them aside. Make a tempering of mustard seeds, ginger, Hing, sliced onion, chana dal, urad dal, and curry leaves. Add the mashed potato into the tempering, stir to combine, and finish by adding chopped cilantro.
The detailed recipe is below. I hope you try it!
