Ingredients

For Dosa Batter

• 1 cup buckwheat (kuttu) flour
• 2 tablespoons yoghurt (curd)
• 1/2 teaspoon rock salt (sendha namak)
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons oil

For Potato Stuffing

• 2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/3 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
• Rock salt (sendha namak), to taste
• 1 tablespoon oil

How To Make Kuttu Vrat Dosa

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, yoghurt and water until you get a smooth, lump-free batter. Add rock salt, mix well and let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Potato Filling

Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they begin to crackle, sauté the grated ginger and chopped green chilli for a few seconds. Add the mashed potatoes, rock salt and black pepper, then mix everything well. Cook for 2-3 minutes before turning off the heat.

Step 3: Cook the Dosa

Heat a dosa tawa or non-stick pan and lightly grease it. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it into a thin, round dosa. Cook for about a minute, drizzle a little oil around the edges, then flip and cook until both sides turn golden and crisp.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve

Place 2 tablespoons of the prepared potato filling in the centre of the dosa. Fold it over using a spatula and serve hot with fresh curd or your favourite vrat chutney.

Quick Tips: You can also make this recipe using amaranth (rajgira) flour instead of buckwheat flour.

Short on time? Skip the potato filling and enjoy the crispy dosa with chilled yogurt for a quick and satisfying fasting meal.

Adjust the batter consistency with a little extra water if needed to make spreading the dosa easier.
