We finally had the time (we needed to start the ingredients soaking and whatnot the day before) and all the ingredients to make our homemade dosas. I made a potato filling from the NYT, tamarind chutney from "Made in India" and a not-very-good cilantro chutney from various sources. I think the late harvest cilantro from the farm was to blame, but it also could have been user error. So, the dosas. The first few were a bitch to get off out fancy new pan, but after a couple it got easier. The texture was very close; I think we could have blended the batter even smoother but it wasn't bad. They didn't taste quite right to me, but with the filling and chutneys it was close enough. I would call it basically successful (Jason, of course, thought they were great). Jason got the recipe from some YouTube guy (who made it look so easy!)....I am wondering if I bought the wrong kind of lentils, maybe? Anyway, much better than my first attempt years ago. We also had roasted broccoli (fine) and had to eat standing at the island as the dosas came off the tawa.
