Dosas are savory crepes prepared with fermented lentil and rice or with different other ingredients like moong daal, oats, quinoa. Aloo masala served with these varieties of dosa is a side preparation made with potatoes, sauteed onion, tempered with mustard seeds, urad daal, chana daal and few spices.
