South Indian Masala Dosa (w/potato filling)

Masala Dosa with potato filling is the ultimate south indian food (most probably the staple food in south india) but is relished in almost all parts of India. This item is not only healthy but also tastes great with crispy layers of dosa filled with delicious potato preparation as fillings. Effort wise Masala Dosa is simple but does take some time to complete as you have to cook one dosa at a time. And also considering that you also have to prepare the sambar and coconut chutney as well to go along with this main dish, overall this is much like a mini-project.
