Idli with Sambar
Soft, steamed rice-and-lentil idli served with a bright, gently spiced vegetable sambar. The batter ferments overnight for a light texture, while tamarind and vegetables give the lentil stew depth and freshness.

Crisp, lacy South Indian rice-and-lentil crêpes wrapped around warmly spiced potato masala. The fermented batter delivers a gently tangy flavor and delicate contrast between the browned edges and tender center.

Soaking hydrates the rice and lentils, while fermentation develops flavor and improves the batter's spreadability. A hot, lightly oiled skillet sets a lacy crust before the dosa is folded around the soft, fragrant potato filling.
Refrigerate cooked potato masala for up to 3 days and fermented batter for up to 4 days in separate airtight containers. Cooked dosa is best fresh but can be refrigerated for 1 day.
Reheat potato masala in a covered skillet over medium-low heat until steaming. Re-crisp leftover dosa in a dry skillet; do not microwave if crispness matters.
