Are you are bored of the regular dosa or masala dosa with potato filling, then try this cauliflower masala dosa for a change. You can use this cauliflower/gobi filling not only for dosa but also as a
stuffing for bread toast or as a
side dish for chapati. It tastes awesome. When we go out to restaurants, we love to have gobi masala dosa or paneer dosa when it comes to ordering dosas. Today we will learn how to make cauliflower dosa following this simple recipe.
How to prepare Gobi Masala Dosa
Prep time – under 10 mins
Cook time – under 20 mins
Ingredients needed
Dosa batter or Masala dosa batter
Oil for making dosa (sesame seed oil preferable)
Dosa tawa
For the cauliflower masala
Cauliflower – 2 cups minced
Onion – 2 medium size
Tomato – 1 big
Ginger -1 inch piece finely chopped
Green chilli – 1 finely chopped
Curry leaves – few tender ones
Coriander leaves for garnishing
Oil – 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder – a pinch
Chilli powder – 1 tsp
Coriander powder – 1 tsp
Kitchen king masala (optional) -1/2 tsp
Salt as needed
For the seasoning
Jeera seeds/cumin seeds – 1 tsp
Preparation
Cut the cauliflower into florets, wash and put them in hot water with a little salt for 10 mins. Drain the water and chop it finely or mince it and keep it aside.
Method
Heat oil in a pan/kadai, add jeera seeds, when it splutters, add finely chopped onions, green chilli, curry leaves and ginger.
Saute for a few minutes, until onions turn translucent.
Then add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, kitchen king masala (if using) and salt needed.
Saute till tomatoes turn mushy.
Add minced cauliflower and cook until cauliflower becomes tender. Check for salt and keep it aside. The stuffing should be dry. Now the gobi masala for dosa is ready.
Now to the Gobi Dosa – Heat a tawa, grease it with a tsp of oil using half an onion, pour a ladle of dosa batter onto the center of the tawa and start spreading the batter in circular motion as seen in the picture below
Drizzle a tsp of oil around the dosa. Close it with a lid. Once the dosa is cooked, simmer and place 2-3 tbsp of the masala, fold the dosa and remove from tawa. Serve hot with any chutney of your choice. (Keep it for a longer in if you want more browning).
Repeat the process for the rest of the dosa batter.
Note – I used basic dosa batter to prepare this dosa and did not use the masala dosa batter.
If you want crispy dosa as in hotel
Follow the masala dosa batter recipe.
