Whenever we travel within Kerala, we eat from Indian Coffee House.The food is good and the prices are also reasonable.The waiters really look very good the way they dress in their turban.
In the ususal Masala Dosa, the masala will be just a mashed potato masala. But this one has beetroots in them. Thats what makes it different.
It has a sweetness in them.
The below one is sweet, tangy and spicy. Does that sound cool?
Raj has been asking me this for a long time, so I thought why not make it today

Ingredients for Masala

Beetroot - 1 medium sized
Potato - 2 medium
Carrot - 1
Onion - 1/2 medium
Tomato - 1 small
Urad Dal - 1 tsp
Green Chilly - 3-4 (based on your spice level)
Ginger - small piece minced finely
Curry Leaves - 4-5
Hing - a pinch
Lime Juice - 1 tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt

Pressure cook the peeled potatoes along with peeled beetroot and carrots with little salt for a max of 2 whistle
Once they cool, mash them gently. Take care not to mash completely as there should be pieces to bite into. Keep aside. There might be some water left in the cooker. Keep it aside, you might need it at a later stage
Take a Pan and heat the oil. Once heated, add the urad dal and let them brown a little.
Then add the ginger, curry leaves and green chilly. Saute for 20-30 secs
Now add the Onion and saute them well. Then add the Tomatoes and saute till they mash well. Add the hing at this point
Now add the salt and the mashed masala mixture and mix it well.
Do a test taste for salt and add the Lime Juice and mix it well. This is to give the extra tangy touch to your masala
Keep it in low heat for 1-2 mins.
At this point if you feel the masala is very thick, then add the water that is left after pressure cooking the vegetables
