Chicken Dosa (Chicken Crepes)

On a call recently, my mom raved about a Chicken Chettinad Dosa that she and my aunt had recently. Apparently they loved it. I knew I did not have the ingredients for a Chettinad dish, and so decided to make just the Chicken Dosa.

I cooked the chicken with some turmeric powder and salt, so that all the flavour can seep deep into the meat. You can use this filling to make sandwiches, parathas or cutlets, if in excess.

Difficulty level: Medium
Preparation time: 20 min
Cooking time: 20 min
Makes: 12- 13 dosas

Ingredients:


Dosa batter: to make 13 dosas
Chicken: 500 gms, cooked and minced
Oil: 1 1/2 tbsp
Onion: 1 medium, thinly sliced
Cumin: 1/2 tsp
Ginger-garlic paste: 1 tbsp
Meat masala: 5 heaped tsp
Salt to taste
Cilantro, chopped: 2 tbsp

Heat the oil and saute onions and ginger-garlic paste until it turns light brown. Add the cumin, meat masala and saute until the raw taste is gone. Add the minced chicken and salt, if needed. Add about 3/4 cup and chopped cilantro. Continue stirring until the excess water has evaporated and the chicken mix is thick (like the masala inside the masala dosa).

Make dosas and keep a spoonful of the chicken mix and fold it, like a masala dosa.

It goes well with Ulli (Onion) chammandhi , cilantro/mint chutney and sambar.
