Ingredients

• 1 cup rice flour
• ½ cup urad dal flour
• 1 ½ cups water (adjust as needed)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon oil (for cooking dosas)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Crispy Dosa Rolls with Spicy Sauce

1. In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, urad dal flour, salt, and water. Whisk until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds, allowing them to splutter.
3. Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, and red chili powder to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the tomato sauce and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
6. Pour a ladleful of the dosa batter onto the skillet and spread it into a thin, even circle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown.
7. Carefully flip the dosa and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate.
8. Roll the dosa tightly, and repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Slice the dosa rolls into bite-sized pieces, serve with the spicy tomato sauce, and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes for better fermentation and texture.
• Make sure the skillet is hot enough before pouring the batter to achieve crispy dosas.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more water to reach the desired consistency.
• Experiment with different spices in the sauce to customize the flavor profile.

Easy Variations

• For a cheesy twist, add shredded cheese to the dosa batter before cooking.
• Incorporate finely chopped vegetables, like onions or bell peppers, into the batter for added nutrition and crunch.
• Swap the tomato sauce for a coconut chutney for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A side of tangy yogurt or raita for cooling contrast.
• Sliced avocado or guacamole for a creamy addition.
• A fresh salad with cucumber and tomatoes for a refreshing crunch.
