What I ate today

Today I came home really early since it was Friday and I had wrapped up my work really early. There was the same old stuff in the fridge to eat. I wanted to make something different. So I thought, why not make a south Indian dish. One of my favorite is called dosa. It comes in may varieties. The pic which I have included is a masala dosa. it is really easy to make and will not take much of your time. So I took out the batter and poured some on the hot frying pan which was coated with a bit of oil.I leveled it out until it was a thin layer. Quickly take it out and put it on a plate. Take some boiled potatoes which have been fried in spices and put them on top of the dosa. Gently fold/roll it until you have the desired shape. If you are up to it, then you can make some sambar and coconut chutney. I really enjoyed not only making the dosa but eating it also. If you are interested, I have given the recipe below.
