- Prepare the Onion Filling:
- In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
- Add thinly sliced onions, green chilies, grated ginger, and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions become soft and golden.
- Add turmeric powder and salt, mixing well. Cook for a few more minutes until everything is well combined. Garnish with chopped coriander.
- Cook the Onion Masala Dosa:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil or ghee.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it into a thin circle. Drizzle oil around the edges and on top.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then place a portion of the onion filling on one half of the dosa. Fold the other half over and press gently.
