Instructions

To make the batter for the Instant Bun Dosa, start by mixing semolina with curd, adding water gradually to achieve a smooth batter consistency. Stir in salt, chopped green chillies, ginger, and chopped onion, then let it rest for 10-15 minutes. In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, hing, curry leaves, and chana dal for tempering, sautéing until aromatic. Combine this tempering with the batter.

For the Onion Tomato Chutney, heat oil in another pan, sauté urad dal, dry red chillies, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and ginger until golden. Add the roughly chopped onion, garlic, and green chillies, cooking until onions are softened. Then, incorporate the tomatoes, Kashmiri chilli powder, tamarind, and salt, simmering until the mixture thickens. Blend it to a smooth chutney consistency.

To cook the Instant Bun Dosa, heat a tawa or non-stick pan with a little oil, pour a ladle of batter and spread it gently into a circle. Drizzle oil around the edges and cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve hot with the Onion Tomato Chutney for a delightful breakfast or snack experience!
