Aloo (Potato) Masala for Dosa
May 7th, 2008 filed under Subji (Vegetables), Vegan
Aloo masala is a nice compliment for any kind of dosa. The Aloo Masala can be rolled in the dosa or served as a side dish.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Pinch of asafetida (Hing)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (Jeera)
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds (Rai)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (Haldi)
- 1 finely chopped green chili (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Method
- Boiled the potatoes until they are soft and let cool.
- Peel and chop the potatoes in small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil. If it cracks right away, the oil is ready.
- Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds and asafetida. As the seeds crack, add turmeric, potatoes, green chili, and salt.
- Stir-fry for a few minutes.
- Add lemon juice and cilantro.
- The potatoes should be slightly moist and not very dry.
- Serve hot.
Variations
Try adding 2 tablespoons of shredded carrots and 1/8 cup of green peas to potato mixture.

Dear Manjula,
Thank you very much for your great service of putting these great recipes on the web. I am a vegan so most of your recipes are very usefull for me.
We are going to have a food fair on a Saturday from 10.00 am to 9.00 pm to raise money for our temple to build a meditation centre (to provide free meditation for the public.) We are going to offer Masala Dosa there. We are going to make the Masala Aloo the night before. My worry is that it might go off by the following day afternoon. What do you think if we put it in a fridge and heat up little by little on the fair day? Please give your suggestion.
Thanks and Best Regards- Rashmi

Hi Manjula,
Just wanted to let you know that I tried this reciepe and it came out great. The only extra thing I added was onions because its a must for me. Though I didnt stuff the masala inside Dosa but had it seperately with Dosa. Also a good combination is to have with Rice and Curd ,Very yummy
Cheers,
