Cheese Masala Dosa Waffle Sandwich is going to be the new way you are going to enjoy your Dosas. They turn out so crunchy in a waffle maker and it is a creative way to serve Dosas. I paired the potato filling as everyone in my family loves aloo masala and the Amul Cheese just makes everything taste so delicious. The combination is absolutely amazing. Pair this along with the Idli Chutney. Usually in summer I make the batter at home and use leftover batter to makes these on Sundays. Enjoy them for breakfast, lunch or dinner.


Dish History:

The Cheese Masala Dosa Waffle Sandwich is a creative twist that combines the classic South Indian dosa with the international appeal of waffles and the comfort of a cheesy, masala-filled sandwich. The traditional dosa, originating from South India, has a rich history dating back centuries. Made from fermented rice and urad dal batter, dosas have been a staple in South Indian households and restaurants, enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Instructions:

Aloo Masala

  • Boil the potato and remove the skin
  • Heat olive oil in a wide pan, once it is hot add Udad dal, mustard seeds and asafetida powder and let it sizzle
  • Now add green chilies and curry leaves and let it cook for 1 minutes
  • Crumble the boiled potatoes with your hands and add it to the oil
  • Sprinkle salt and turmeric powder and mix it together, if needed mash the potatoes to form a uniform mixture
  • Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro leaves and turn off the heat

Dosa Waffles

  • Plug in the waffle maker and grease with oil
  • Drop 2-3 tablespoonfuls of dosa batter into the waffle maker once it heats up
  • Close the lid and let the waffle cook. This should take 5-7 minutes. If the waffle is not cooked, close the lid and cook for longer.
  • Sometimes you may need to flip the waffle half way for it be cooked evenly on both sides
  • Once the waffle is cooked, remove it from the waffle maker
  • Repeat the steps above to make another Dosa Waffle
  • Now spread a layer of Aloo masala on the waffle and shred Amul Cheese on top of it
  • Keep the waffle maker open and cover the potato and cheese waffle with a lid till the cheese melts
  • Open the lid and place the second waffle on top of this waffle
  • Seal it and cut it in half and serve it along with Coconut Chutney
  • Enjoy them right away

Equipment needed:

  • Waffle Maker: A waffle maker is essential for achieving the crispy, waffle-like texture of the dosa. Make sure it’s clean and well-greased.
  • Griddle or Non-Stick Pan: To cook the dosa batter and masala filling.

Storage:

For the best taste and texture, it’s recommended to consume the waffle sandwich immediately after preparation when it’s fresh and crispy. If you have leftover waffle sandwiches, allow them to cool to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container. Place a piece of parchment paper or foil between each waffle to prevent sticking.

Serving suggestion:

Pair this along with the Idli Chutney.

Health Benefits:

The dosa batter typically contains urad dal, a good source of protein. Protein is essential for muscle repair, immune function, and overall growth and development. The masala filling often includes vegetables like potatoes, which provide essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber.

Expert Tips:

Ensure your dosa batter has the right consistency—smooth and slightly thick. The fermentation process is crucial for dosa batter, so allow it to ferment adequately for the best flavor and texture.

To prevent sticking, generously grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray before pouring the dosa batter. This also contributes to the desirable golden-brown color.

If you’re adding a stuffing, follow a layering technique. Pour a portion of the dosa batter, add the masala filling and cheese, and then cover with another layer of dosa batter. This helps in even distribution of filling.
