Instructions:
-
Prepare the Moong Dal Dosa Batter:
- Soak the yellow moong dal and methi seeds together in a bowl, and soak the idli rice separately in another bowl. Let both soak for at least 3 hours.
- After soaking, grind the moong dal and rice mixture to a smooth, thick batter. Add salt to taste and set it aside. Allow the batter to ferment for about 8 hours or overnight.
-
Boil and Prepare the Eggs:
- Boil the eggs in sufficient water until they are hard boiled (approximately 10 minutes).
- Once boiled, peel the eggs and slice them into halves or quarters. Sprinkle some red chilli powder and salt over the sliced eggs, and set them aside for later use.
-
Make the Egg Roast Masala:
- Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, methi seeds, and curry leaves. Allow them to crackle and release their aromatic flavors.
- Next, add the green chillies, ginger, garlic, and onions. Sauté them until the onions turn soft and golden brown.
- Once the onions are cooked, add the tomatoes, garam masala powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and turmeric powder. Stir well and cook until the tomatoes break down into a mushy masala. Taste the masala and adjust the seasoning as needed. Once the masala is cooked to perfection, turn off the heat and set it aside.
-
Make the Egg Roast Masala Dosa:
- Preheat your dosa pan or tawa. Pour a ladle of the prepared moong dal dosa batter onto the pan and spread it into a thin circle.
- Drizzle coconut oil or ghee around the edges and cook the dosa on medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the dosa to the other side for a few seconds, then flip it back.
- Once the dosa turns golden brown and crispy, spread the prepared egg roast masala over one half of the dosa. Place the seasoned sliced boiled eggs on top.
- Fold the dosa in half, covering the egg filling, and cook for another minute, allowing the masala to warm through.
-
Serving:
- Serve the Egg Roast Masala Dosa hot with coconut chutney and a cup of Bellada Coffee for an authentic South Indian breakfast experience.
