How to make Gobi Masala Dosa Step by Step

2.Then add ginger garlic paste and chopped onions fry till slightly browned. Then add tomatoes and saute till mushy and raw smell leaves. Then add chili powder, garam masala masala and coriander powder.
3.Fry till the masalas are mixed well. Add little water and allow it to boil for a minute and then saute for a minute. Add the cashew nut paste(just grind the cashews with little water to a smooth paste) and fry for a minute. Add required salt.
4.Then add the cooked cauliflower florets and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes it becomes thick like a masala. Then add coriander leaves and one the curry becomes thick like a stuffing then switch it off.
5.Make thin dosa, drizzle oil when it turns golden brown – Spoon the gobi masala and fold it. You can also fold on both sides like we see in restaurants.
Serve with any chutney of your choice. We like it with coconut ginger chutney. You can also have it with tiffin sambar or tomato onion chutney.
Expert Tips
- I don’t have tandoori masala powder so went ahead with garam masala powder. But I recommend adding it as it gives a nice flavor to the masala.
- Cut cauliflower into small florets for the masala to get blended well.
- You can add 3 tomatoes too for more masala, I added only 2.
- The cashew nut paste gives a rich restaurant taste to the masala so don’t skip it.
- If you prefer, you can also use ghee for making the dosa. Make thin crispy dosas.
- The leftover masala goes well with rotis too.You can make the recipe with mushrooms too.
Serving and Storage
Serve gobi masala dosa hot with coconut chutney and sambar which is the best combination. Make batter and masala stuffing ready, store in fridge it keeps well for 2 days.
