I learnt this recipe from some book. Everybody makes fun of me when I say we can make potato dosa. But if you try this once, you will never forget the taste!!!. This dosa is a bit hard to take out from pan. So my initial trials were all big disasters. But this dosa was so tasty that I wanted to master this. So after trying it many times, I could make them perfect. The key is to add as much rice flour as required to make them easy to remove from pan.
Ingredients:
1 cup boiled, mashed potatoes
1 cup rice flour
5-6 strands coriander leaves
1 tea spn ginger-garlic paste
2-3 green chillies
2 tbl spn yogurt/curd
Oil
Salt
Method:
Grind all the ingredients(except rice flour). Add rice flour. Mix well and make dosas. Some times, the dosas get sticked to tava. Add more rice flour and try again.
I usually serve this with honey or mango syrup(ambe paank).
Serves : 2-3
Preparation time : 10min
Hi,
Why not put the rice flour also in the blender?
Hi Shilpa,
Never thought i would end up trying this one…….but tried it and enjoyed it too!! Thanks for a nice quick recipe.
Hello Shilpa,
I am impressed by your recipe khajaane’ (khazaana). Its so nice to see a rare site of Kannada-Konkani dishes. I am from the old Mysooru region (Mysore for anglophiles). Although, I grew up on staple Mysoor gojjus, huLi-thauvve, saaru, huLI etc. I am always fascinated by the diversity of food (Mysoor, bayalunaadu, malenaadu, kodagu, konkani, dharwad, mangaLooru, karaavaLii etc.) in our Kannada naandu. As is our our music (Karnatak in south, Hindustani in north), languages (various dialects of kannada, konkani, kodava, tulu and other tribal languages) marriage ceremonies, the list goes on….
In any case, the intent of my “comment” was to offer a variation on potato dosa (All the measures given here are approximate):
Potato (2)
Onion (1)
Carrot (optional) (2 or 3)
jeera (1 teaspoon)
Sooji (1/2 cup)
rice flour (1/4 cup)
kadale hittu (besan) ( 3-4 table spoonful). This acts not only additional binding agent , but also helps getting that golden color in the dosa
ginger (optional) (1 teaspoon) (one can substitute this with store bough ginger pate
green chillies (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Cilantro (Corriander) leaves (1/4 cup). This is because I like corriander a lot, one can reduce the quantity.
Curry Leaves (2-3 sprigs)
Sour Buttermilk (1 cup)
Method:
Grate the potato, onion, carrots.
Chop the green chillies; grate the ginger.
Place all the flours, grated vegetables, chillies, corriander, jeera, cilantro, curry leaves in a bowl. Mix them thorougly to incorporate all the ingredients
Add the butter milk and mix again.
Following this, add water with caution to get the batter to thick dosa consistency. The batter should be thicker than regular idli batter and thinner than the regular dosa batter.
keep it aside for 30 minutes.
Pour the dosa over non-stick pan and fry it with (or without! thanks to nonstick pan!) oil.
Serve it with any kind of chutney.
hi,
i tried this dosa today n it was really very tasty.fast to make n tasty too.
hi
shilpa
for these dosas
how should be the consistency?
thick or running like a proper dosa
and do you put the potatoes in the mixer too with the other ingredients
Mahek, you should make the dosa batter thin. Because the thin dosas taste better than thick. They are little difficult to remove from tava, so add more rice flour if necessary.
Yes, the potatoes are ground in mixer along with other things. Let me know if you try this.
Thanks tooooooooo much plz tell me goooooood combination plz…….
Lathabasappa, I usually serve this with something sweet like honey or pineapple syrup because these dosas taste good when they are made spicy. They can also be served with coconut chutney.
Hi Shilpa,
Is water to be added too while grinding? I want to try this recipe, but not sure how is it going to get the running consistency to be poured into the pan like a dosa.
Thanks,
Smita
Smitha, you have to add sufficient water while grinding. Don’t make it too watery since they are bit difficult to remove from tava.You can add more rice flour if you are not able to remove them.
alright, will try that, thanks.
just a quick suggestion..when I searched on potato dosa in your search box, this “Potato Dosa” which is an exact match comes last in the results..hope that is useful..
Smita
Hi Shilpa,
Did you have any trouble spreading the dosa on the tava?I couldnt spread it well so I made the batter really thin and prepared like we do rava dosas.Was your batter consistency same as regular dosa?I used non stick pan so there was no difficulty removing them,though it took some time to cook well.BUt yes dosa tasted very good.Will definetly try it again.
Swarna, As I have mentioned in above post, these dosas are hard to remove from tava. It needs a lot of experiment before you can actually master them. I make them thin if I can take them out from tava easily. But sometimes when I change the tava, I can’t take out thin ones, so I make them thick. You have to spread 2-3 dosas before you could adjust the consistency properly. But its the taste of these dosas that makes me come back to them again and again. I can’t tell you the consistency exactly because these depend on many things, mainly the kind of tava used. I have two non stick tavas which give different results to me.
Do we have to keep the batter standing for some time?
Sounds interesting…must try this
Varsha, no standing time for these dosas. They are instant dosas, prepared soon after the batter is made.
Btw, I am happy to see you back here. Looks like you are busy these days.

Thanks for the recipe and useful comment replies too.
hi shilpa,
such a fabulous recipe… many thanks for posting this one. I absolutely love your site. i tried this recipe 🙂 and you wont believe…. it came out perfect the first time i made it, I used a non stick so my job was easier. I served this dish with brinjal chutney and my husband loved it !! 🙂
I had one question does the potato mixture become sticky when it is mashed and grinded in the mixer ?? I was a bit hesitant when I saw the potato mixture to be really sticky , but later on it turned out to be alrite when I mixed it with the rice flour and water .
Yes, it becomes sticky.
