Cauliflower Masala Dosa


Cauliflower Masala Dosa

We are a dosa loving family and don't mind having dosa as breakfast(or even dinner!)at least 2-3 times a week.Grated coconut in the freezer and dosa batter in the fridge lets me sleep peacefully knowing well that the breakfast part is well taken care of for the next day.

To make dosa even more interesting,we have Masala dosa and a notch higher Kanchipuram Masala dosa on some days.So I had no doubts we'd love this version too which Anu had on her blog a while back-Chettinad Masala dosa with a Cauliflower filling.


Cauliflower Masala Dosa

My version looked a bit like a stuffed paratha filling,nevertheless it tasted awesome and made for a great brunch.
