Egg Dosa Recipe (Mutta Dosa)
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. Make it using my easy recipe.
Servings: 1 people
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons dosa batter
- 2 teaspoons oil or ghee
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon idli podi
Instructions
- Heat a dosa tawa or a non-stick skillet over high heat. Once the tawa is hot, reduce the heat to low and splash some water onto the tawa. The water will dance and evaporate; that’s your cue. It’s ready. Wipe off the remaining water with a folded 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. Work fast, the batter sets quickly.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoon of oil on the sides and top of the dosa. The edges will start to turn golden.
- Crack an egg in the center, then break the yolk immediately with a spoon. Spread the egg all over the dosa using the back of the spoon.
- Scatter onions, green chilies, and cilantro on top. Press everything down gently with the flat of your spatula so it adheres. Sprinkle salt and idli podi on top.
- Once the dosa is golden brown on the bottom (1-2 minutes), flip it using a flat spatula and cook on the other side for an additional minute.
- Flip it once more so the dosa side faces down, then fold it in half. Slide onto a plate and serve hot egg dosa with any dosa chutney or curry.
Before making the next dosa, reheat the tawa on high heat. 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.
Top the dosa with finely chopped veggies like carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms, along with the ingredients mentioned above, for a taste change.
Before cracking the eggs, you can slather the dosa with spicy red coconut chutney or a spicy curry.
