Egg Dosa(Mutta Dosa) is a popular South Indian dish with traditional dosa topped with eggs and spices. It comes together in 10 minutes and makes for a great breakfast or snack.
Heat a dosa tawa or a non-stick skillet (tawa) over high heat. Once the tawa is hot, reduce the heat to low and splash the tawa with some water. The water will dance on the hot tawa. Wipe the remaining water with a kitchen cloth.
Add 2 ladle full (2-3 tbsp) of dosa batter to the center of the pan and spread it using the back of the ladle to make a thin dosa.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Drizzle oil or ghee on the sides and top of the dosa.
Break the egg in the center and break the yolk using a spoon. Spread the egg all over the dosa.
Sprinkle onions, green chilies, and cilantro on top and press gently with the back of a flat spatula. Sprinkle salt and idli podi on top.
Once the dosa is nicely browned from the bottom (1-2 minutes), flip it using a flat spatula and cook on the other side for a minute.
Flip it once again and fold it in half.
Serve hot with any dosa chutney or curry. Before making the next dosa, heat the tawa on high heat again. Splash water, reduce the heat, and wipe the remaining water before pouring the batter.
Notes
Some people add only an egg over their dosa and no other ingredients like onions, cilantro, etc. You can try it too.Add finely chopped veggies like carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc., along with the ingredients mentioned above for a taste change.Before pouring the eggs, you can slather the dosa with spicy red coconut chutney or a spicy curry.
