Masal Dosai

This is a dish that i used to take for granted back home. My mom used to make it even on week day mornings with saambhar and chutney. After 4 years of having cereal and milk in the morning, that seems like the breakfast that dreams are made of!!

But I cant even imagine going through so much trouble for breakfast - my husband may get used to such comforts all too soon ;) So I usually make it for dinner on weekends or when we have friends come over for brunch.

Ingredients
Potatoes- 2 (I get the big, long baking potatoes)
Onions - 2 (big Sweet Onions)- Finely chopped
Green chillies - 2-3 finely chopped green chillies
Cilantro - Few stems
Mustard - 1/2 spoon
Channa daal - 1-2 spoons
ginger - 1 inch finely grated
garam masala - 1 level spoon (You can add more if you want more flavor)
Jeera - 1/2 spoon
Saunf - 1/4 spoon (crush it in you palm before adding)

Procedure
1. Heat oil.Add mustard, channa daal, green chillies, ginger and Jeera (Take care not to burn the jeera -add it last )
2. Add onions, saute, then add salt. Salt will help in getting the onions get cooked faster.
3. Add potato (after boiling in a cooker) and some water till potato and onions get well mixed and cooked.
4. Add cilantro till cooked. Add garam masala and saunf.
