Instructions:

Preparing the Dosa Batter:

In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, curd, and water. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
Add salt to taste and a pinch of baking soda (optional). Allow the batter to rest for 15-20 minutes.

Making the Masala Filling:

Add chopped onions and green chillies. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
Incorporate turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Add the mashed potatoes and cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and set aside.

Cooking the Ghee Rava Masala Dosa:

Heat a non-stick griddle or dosa tawa. Pour a ladleful of dosa batter in the center and spread it thinly in a circular motion.
Drizzle ghee around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom turns golden brown.
Place a generous portion of the masala filling in the center of the dosa.
Fold the dosa over the filling, creating a semi-circle or a roll.

Serve Hot:

Repeat the process for additional dosas.
Serve the Ghee Rava Masala Dosa hot with coconut chutney.


Tips:

Customize the spiciness of the masala filling by adjusting the quantity of green chillies.
For an extra indulgence, add a dollop of ghee on top of the dosa before serving.
