    Egg Dosa

    Egg dosa is one of the popular street food and breakfast in many south Indian states especially Tamil Nadu.

    Usually the ones we get in Road sides shops are with just eggs, Pepper and Salt. I have included some more vegetables as I prefer it colourful and more veggies more fun. Now let’s see how to prepare Egg dosa or omelette dosa

    Ingredients

    Egg Dosa Ingredients

    Egg - Use fresh room temperature eggs.

    Salt and Pepper powder - For flavoring the dosa , you may use more cumin powder or red chilli flaks if you prefer more spice.

    Vegetables - I am using finely chopped onions grated carrots and coriander leaves as toppings. You can also use more veggies if you prefer. Capsicum or even tomatoes

    Oil - I prefer using gingelly oil for dosa. It tastes good and perfect. You may also ghee if you prefer.

    Idli Dosa Batter - It is the base for any dosa.

    FAQ's

    Compared to simple plain dosa, this egg dosa has more protein. So its good and healthy indeed

    Do we need a different batter for egg dosa recipe ?

    egg dosa batter is pretty much the same as the one which we use for plain dosa. One batter but we have plenty of options.

    2. Take Pepper powder and Salt. you can also some red chilli flakes if you prefer extra spicy.

    3. Add pepper and salt to egg

    4. Mix well untill combine.

    5. Heat a iron tawa or griddle and pour a ladle full of batter and spread to form a slightly thick dosa. If the dosa is very thin it might tear.

    Tips & Variations

    You can also prepare a plain egg dosa if you dont prefer adding extra vegetables.

    A dash of Idli Podi (Gun Powder) will also spice it up.

    As such we dont have any special egg dosa batter. We repurpose our dosa batter.

    We can even add the potato filling like our masala dosa to this egg dosai. I dont have the egg masala dosa recipe as of now in blog will try to share in Instagram if possible.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve hot with chutney and Sambar. It makes a perfect breakfast or dinner.
