Chicken Masala Dosa | Dosa with Chicken Filling (Step by Step Pics)

Dosa huts and Dosa restaurants are gaining popularity these days. This is mainly because of the strong liking towards dosa by all age groups. Masala dosa is always our family favorite and there are lot of variations which can be added to this type of dosas. Mysore masala dosa, plain masala dosa, cheese dosa are few famous ones. I have tried making dosa waffles, dosizza which were a super duper hit at home, do try these if interested. This was a trial and error at home. I had some boneless chicken in the freezer and some dosa dough in the fridge. So,made this filling and gave this dosa a try. Kids really enjoyed the rolls as a after school snack. The filling can be used to make chapathis rolls too. I have made this dosa 2-3 times now and each time kids had a great time munching these. Enjoy with your loved ones too !!

Method

  • TO MAKE MASALA- Clean the chicken pieces and cut it very small cubes. Drain water completely, add the 1/2 tsp chilli powder, a pinch of pepper powder and salt. Marinate for half an hour, and then cook in  a pan with a little water. Cook till done,drain water if any left over and keep aside.
  • Heat a pan and add the oil. When it is hot, add the ginger garlic paste. Saute until the raw smell disappears.Add in sliced onion and saute until translucent(no need to brown it up). Add the spice powders on low flame and saute until the raw smell of disappears. Add the chopped tomatoes ,chopped coriander and mint leaves. Saute for a minute and add the cooked chicken. Toss well with the masala and add in the mashed potato. Mix well and cook covered on low flame for about two minutes. Finally add in the lemon juice and switch off flame. Leave the masala to cool.

  • TO MAKE CHICKEN MASALA DOSA-  Keep the dosa batter ready by adding salt to taste.
  • Heat a griddle or tawa or non stick pan. Smear the top with oil  and when it is hot pour ladle ful of batter and spread in rounds till the batter is thinned out evenly.
  • Cover and cook for 30 secs till the top is cooked. Add a tsp of oil on top and spread the filling in the center of the dosa. Wait till the dosas are crispy, flip both sides to the center and remove on  a plate.
  • Serve warm just like that or with tomato chutney or sambar.

NOTES
* You can use the same filling to make chapathi rolls and serve for lunch box.
* You can also add capsicum or any other veggies sliced to the filling to add an additional crunch.
* You can omit the mint leaves and lemon juice if you don't like the flavors but the lemon definitely adds a chatpata taste to the filling.
* You can even add grated cheese for additional creamy touch.
