2. Grind them separately adding enough water to a smooth batter. Mix them well, adding salt and leave to ferment preferably over night.

3. Just before making dosas mix the baking soda. Spread a ladle full of batter on a hot griddle and make dosas.

4. Sprinkle a little podi and spread a little masala on each dosa. Apply a little ghee or oil to make it crisp.

4. Now put the potatoes, salt and turmeric. Mix and sprinkle a little water and simmer until done. Break/mash the potatoes a bit while stirring to blend with the onion masala.
