Dosa Stuffing (South Indian Style Potatoes)

Dosa’s are savory rice and/or semolina based crepes that are common in South Indian cuisine. They are usually eaten with a spiced potato mixture and a spicy & sour lentil soup called “sambar.”

If you’ve never had one – I highly recommend you do! You will love the flavors and texture of all the ingredients together and come to appreciate how diverse our Indian cuisine is!

Here is my recipe for the spiced potato stuffing that I make for my dosa crepe recipes!
