Growing up in a South Indian household, weekend breakfasts were always special.
The aroma of sizzling dosa batter, the crackle of mustard seeds in hot oil, and the rich, buttery goodness of ghee made our home feel warm and inviting. My grandmother would always make her signature Ghee Karam Dosa, and just the thought of it still makes my mouth water.
It’s spicy, crispy, and loaded with flavors that bring back so many fond memories. If you’ve never tried making it at home, trust me, you’re in for a treat!
Chop onions, tomatoes, and garlic cloves.
Grind onions, chilies, tomatoes, garlic, and salt into a fine paste without adding water.
Heat oil in a wide pan and keep mustard seeds and curry leaves ready.
Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds and curry leaves. Let them crackle.
Add the ground onion-tomato masala and cook for about ten minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Transfer the cooked masala to a bowl and set it aside.
Heat a dosa tawa and spread the dosa batter thinly.
When the dosa starts cooking, drizzle ghee along the edges and spread a spoonful of the onion-tomato masala on top.
Add more ghee on the sides and over the masala for extra flavor.
Once the dosa is crisp on one side, flip and cook the other side briefly.
Once done, transfer it to a plate and serve hot with chutney.
