Whole roasted cumin. Sometimes whole spices rather than ground makes something much better. Browned shredded coconut. I add this to a lot of curries and brown it in in the pan with the curry. Browned uncooked urid dhal. Fry it till it gets pink, it is a nice flavor. The thing that will make or break this IMO is the souring agent. You don't want a wet one so amchur powder (dried sour mango) is the best. Usually I do all the above and just clean out my fridge. I have given up those perfect rolled ones with fillings and just eat a dry curry with the dosa like a chapati usually. That is what my friends from Gujarat do. > > > On Apr 6, 2009, at 2:50 PM, curtisdeltablues wrote: > > > --- In [email protected], "Alex Stanley" > > <j_alexander_stanley@> wrote: > >> > >> --- In [email protected], Vaj <vajradhatu@> wrote: > >>> > >>> Anyone have a good recipe for Indian Masala Dosa filling? > >> > >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosa > >> > >> From the description, it sounds like you could fill a dosa with > >> just about anything.
