Recipe for muttai kari dosai made with boiled eggs and onion tomato masala. This is used as a topping for the dosai. Recipe with video.
This is an easy and delicious dish to make when you have excess boiled eggs at home. The boiled eggs are mixed with a spicy sautéed onion and tomato mixture. Make sure to spend that extra minute to fine chop the ingredients. To this, I whisk in a couple of eggs too so the egg mixture will stick to the dosai without falling while flipping the dosai. The creamy cooked eggs on dosai – a sure winner. It tastes super crisp on the sides and creamy on every bite. This dosai doesn’t even need accompaniment. It can be served as is.
I use regular idli dosai batter for making this recipe – https://www.kannammacooks.com/idli-dosai-batter-recipe/

Recipe for muttai kari dosai made with boiled eggs and onion tomato masala. This is used as a topping for the dosai. Recipe with video.
Ingredients
For the Muttai Kari Dosai Masala
1 tablespoon Indian Sesame Oil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon curry leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
2–3 finely chopped green chillies
2 tablespoon coriander leaves, finely chopped
Other Ingredients
2 boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 raw eggs
3 cups idli – dosai batter
Indian sesame oil for making dosai
1 teaspoon black pepper powder – for finishing
Instructions
For the Muttai Kari Dosai Masala
Heat oil in a pan. I like the flavour of Indian sesame oil for this recipe. When the oil is hot, add in the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, finely chopped curry leaves and finely chopped onions. You want to fine chop all the ingredients. If the pieces are big, it wont adhere well to the dosai when added as a topping. Saute the onions till soft.
Add in the salt and the finely chopped tomatoes. Saute for a few minutes. Add in all the spice powders and sauté for a few seconds. Finally add in the chopped green chillies and the coriander leaves. Adjust the chillies according to your taste.
Take a bowl and add in couple of boiled and peel eggs. Roughly chop the eggs with a knife or a fork. Add in the cooked masala mixture. Break two eggs in the bowl. The eggs will help as a binder and will also stick well to the dosai. Mix everything well to combine.
For Making Dosai
Heat a cast iron dosai pan. When hot, add in a ladle of dosai batter. Around 3 inches diameter. I like to make small dosai as its easy to flip and looks really cute too. Gently spoon the egg masala on top of the dosai. Sprinkle oil and let it cook for a minute.
Flip the dosai and cook for a minute more. Flip again. Sprinkle black pepper powder on the dosai. The muttai kari dosai is ready. Serve hot.
Notes
I use regular Idli Dosai batter for making this recipe.
